My mother always told me to be honest otherwise I would be “looking in the rearview mirror” my entire life. That’s the basis of the new Blumhouse thriller.
Jason Bateman will star in STX Entertainment and Blumhouse’s The Gift, which was formerly titled Weirdo.
“Simon (Jason Bateman) and Robyn (Rebecca Hall) are a young married couple whose life is going just as planned until a chance encounter with an acquaintance from Simon’s high school sends their world into a harrowing tailspin. Simon doesn’t recognize Gordo (Joel Edgerton) at first, but after a seemingly coincidental series of encounters proves troubling, a horrifying secret from their past is uncovered after nearly 20 years. As Robyn learns the unsettling truth about what happened between Simon and Gordo, she starts to question: how well do we really know the people closest to us, and are past bygones ever really bygones?”
Joel Edgerton made his directorial debut, says Deadline.
The psychological thriller is set for a July 31, 2015 release.
