EXCLUSIVE: Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman, André Holland, Alison Brie and Tom Sturridge are leading Alex Vlack’s feature directorial debut, the drama The Revisionist.
The production, written by Vlack, is currently shooting in Louisville, KY.
In The Revisionist, Elise, a successful novelist, does what so many writers do: she manipulates and transforms the people in her life into the characters she needs for her story. As she blurs the line between fiction and reality, her world descends into secrets, lies, and outright betrayal. The project is an exploration of the psychological lengths to which a writer will go to achieve their art.
Pic is also produced by Vlack along with Arielle Elwes, Veronica Radaelli, Zachary Spicer, Fiona Robert and Sophia Robert. Vlack’s previous work includes directing and executive producing the documentary Still Bill about soul legend Bill Withers.
Cassian Elwes serves as EP along with Paul Robarts, Andy Steinman, Jeffrey Michael Deary, Hunter Gray, Gordon Strain and Jeremy Chilnick. WME Independent is handling global sales on The Revisionist.
