The distributor’s catalog of quality fright features just keeps growing.
Neon has announced its acquisition of worldwide rights to LEVITICUS, the feature writing/directing debut of Australian filmmaker Adrian Chiarella, an award-winner for his previous TV and short-film work. The movie, which won raves from its world premiere at this month’s Sundance Film Festival, stars Joe Bird (TALK TO ME), Stacy Clausen, Jeremy Blewitt, Ewen Leslie, Davida McKenzie, Nicholas Hope (BAD BOY BUBBY), Zahra Newman and Mia Wasikowska (CRIMSON PEAK). The synopsis: “In LEVITICUS, two teenage boys must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most—each other.” A theatrical release later this year is planned.
