Two of Hollywood’s hardest-working actors have teamed up with the distributor that made history at this year’s Oscars. Needless to say, awards voters will take notice.
“A Ghost Story,” writer-director David Lowery’s haunting and poetic love story, will be presented later this year by A24, the company that catapulted “Moonlight” to Academy Award-winning glory. Filmed in Dallas, Texas, the indie premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews.
Rooney Mara stars as a widow haunted by the ghost of her recently deceased husband: a figure draped in a white sheet with eye holes. Since procuring her second Oscar nomination in 2015’s “Carol,” the actor has appeared in an impressive amount of buzzy projects, including the recently released “Song to Song.” Casey Affleck, fresh off his Academy win for “Manchester by the Sea,” plays her ghostly companion.
Described as everything from “daring” to “cartoonish” to “unforgettable,” Lowery’s film could be a major player come next year’s awards season. Check out its haunting new trailer below.
