Best known for hard-hitting crime documentaries like West of Memphis, An Open Secret, and this year's disturbing Prophet's Prey, Amy Berg is now making the move to features with Every Secret Thing. Appropriately, her first shot out of the gate is a crime thriller and judging by the first trailer all of her experience dealing with true-life tales of tragedy is being put to good use.
Featuring a top notch cast of Dakota Fanning, Diane Lane, Elizabeth Banks, Common, Danielle Macdonald, and Nate Parker, the film was adapted from Laura Lippman's novel by Nicole Holofcener (Enough Said) with Frances McDormand producing. So lots of star power all around. Here's the synopsis:
EVERY SECRET THING is a psychological crime thriller produced by Academy Award-winning actress Frances McDormand (Fargo), which premiered in the Spotlight section at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival. Directed by Amy J. Berg (Deliver Us from Evil, West of Memphis) and written by Nicole Holofcener (Friends With Money, Enough Said), it is based on a 2004 novel of the same name by New York Times best-selling author Laura Lippman about the chilling consequences of the secrets we keep. The film stars Diane Lane, Elizabeth Banks, Dakota Fanning, Danielle Macdonald, Nate Parker, and Common.
Detective Nancy Porter (Banks) is still haunted by her failure to save the life of a missing child from the hands of two young girls. Eight years later, another child goes missing in the same town just days after Ronnie and Alice (Fanning and Macdonald), the two girls convicted of the former crime, were released from juvenile detention. Porter and her partner (Parker) must race against the clock to prevent history from repeating itself. But as they begin to investigate the girls and their families, especially Alice’s protective mother (Lane), they unearth a web of secrets and deceptions that calls everything into question.
Every Secret Thing hits theaters and ITunes on May 15th.
