Early Sales Art for Maggie Gyllenhaal Starrer ‘Voice from the Stone’
We’ve scored some early sales art for Eric D. Howell’s Voice from the Stone, a new supernatural thriller starring both Maggie Gyllenhaal and Mads Mikkelsen.
“The beautiful and haunting story of Verena, a solemn nurse drawn to aid a young boy named Jakob who has fallen silent since the untimely passing of his mother nearly a year ago. Living with his father in a massive stone manor in central Italy, he not only refuses to speak, he seems to be under the spell of a malevolent force trapped within the walls. As Verena’s relationship with the captivating father and enigmatic son grow, she becomes ensnared and consumed by the same austere force. If she is to save the boy, and free herself, she must first face the phantom hidden inside the stone.”

From director David Ayer (Suicide Squad, Fury), Heart of the Beast will hit theaters on September 25 from Paramount Pictures, and GQ shares first look images this week.
In the film, a former Army Special Forces soldier and his retired combat dog attempt to return to civilization after suffering a catastrophic accident deep in the Alaskan wilderness.
Brad Pitt stars in the survival thriller Heart of the Beast, with J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) and Anna Lambe (“True Detective: Night Country”) also starring.
Cameron Alexander wrote the screenplay for Heart of the Beast. Academy Award winner Mauro Fiore (Avatar, Spider-Man: No Way Home) serves as director of photography.
“I’ll just be really honest: it made me cry,” Ayer tells GQ of the script. “Reading the script, it’s like a tone poem, in a sense. It’s so sparse—just a guy, a dog, mountains, and the calamities and triumphs that unfold, but what’s fascinating about the script is they’re constantly rescuing each other. It’s not like a guy and his pet—they felt like co-equals in this story. Brad wanted to be No. 2 on the call sheet, and rightly so. There was just something profound in the script. It felt like a study in grief, in healing, and of the human heart. So I had to do it.”
Ayer promises, “Don’t worry, the dog lives.”
