NEON acquired the rights to Josephine Decker‘s Shirley fresh off its premiere at Sundance earlier this year, and they’ve announced today that they’ll be releasing the film “everywhere” on June 5, 2020.
Elisabeth Moss (Us, The Invisible Man) stars as Shirley Jackson, the influential writer who penned classic ghost story The Haunting of Hill House. Check out the trailer below.
The film “tells the story of what happens when a young couple moves in with the famed author, Shirley Jackson, and her Bennington College professor husband, Stanley Hyman. The young couple hopes to start a new life but instead find themselves fodder for a psycho-drama that inspires Shirley’s next novel.”
Meagan reviewed Shirley for us at Sundance and wrote that it “offers up genre elements and a psychologically driven story about one of horror’s greatest authors of all time.”
Michael Stuhlbarg, Odessa Young, and Logan Lerman also star.
Sarah Gubbins wrote the script.
