International Trailer for DARK PLACES, Starring Charlize Theron

Author Gillian Flynn made quite a splash last year when she wrote the screenplay for Gone Girl, which was based on her own best-selling novel. David Fincher directed the film, and it ended up being 2014's twistiest thriller. Flynn has teased the idea of writing a sequel to the novel one day, but while fans wait for that, there's already another film adaptation of one of her books on the way.

The Playlist points us to the international trailer for Dark Places, which has a heck of a cast: Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Christina Hendricks, Corey Stoll, Tye Sheridan, and Chloë Grace Moretz, just to name a few. Here's the synopsis of the book:

Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in “The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas.” She survived—and famously testified that her fifteen-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, the Kill Club—a secret society obsessed with notorious crimes—locates Libby and pumps her for details. They hope to discover proof that may free Ben. Libby hopes to turn a profit off her tragic history: She’ll reconnect with the players from that night and report her findings to the club—for a fee. As Libby’s search takes her from shabby Missouri strip clubs to abandoned Oklahoma tourist towns, the unimaginable truth emerges, and Libby finds herself right back where she started—on the run from a killer.

Gilles Paquet-Brenner directed the film, which apparently finished production a couple of years ago and has been sitting on a shelf ever since, but A24 picked it up, and now it's getting a release overseas. Dark Places opens in France on April 8th, but it still doesn't have a U.S. date planned yet. Take a look at the trailer and let us know what you think.
