If you watched the first clip of Charlize Theron as Libby Day in Dark Places, you may have wondered when we’d get to see an entire trailer. That day is today.
The plot sees the seven-year-old Day witness the murder of her family, seemingly the work of a Satanic cult, and testify against her own brother (Corey Stoll) as the murderer. Fast-forward 25 years and the grown-up Day (Theron) has to face some unpleasant facts about the case. Approached by Nicholas Hoult's vigilante sleuths the Kill Club, she's forced to re-evaluate her original version of events.
Coming from Gone Girl writer Gillian Flynn, this is, as you might expect, a weighty, danger-filled tale filled with revelations and protagonists who might not know have all the facts to begin with. And with Theron, Hoult, Stoll and more involved, it promises to be another compelling thriller.
With Chloë Grace Moretz, Christina Hendricks and Drea de Matteo in the cast, **Dark Places **arrives on US screens on August 7 but still doesn’t seem to have a UK date in the books yet.
