The film, a Canada-U.K. co-production from AntColony Films and Brightlight Pictures for Miramax, previously announced Jamie Dornan (FIFTY SHADES OF GREY) and Aaron Paul as co-stars. Platt is to play Louis Drax’s psychologist, Dr. Perez, while Parker assumes the role of Det. Dalton.
Alexandre Aja who is enjoying recent success with HORNS, is directing the film penned by Max Minghella.
Based on Liz Jensen‘s novel of the same name, THE 9TH LIFE OF LOUIS DRAX begins on Louis Drax’s 9th birthday, when he miraculously survives a near fatal fall. His doctor Allan Pascal (Dornan) finds himself tangled between his professional responsibility and his growing affections for the boy’s mother (Gadon), a fragile young beauty. When Louis’ father (Paul) comes under suspicion, Pascal realizes other mysterious forces may be at work. With echoes of The Sixth Sense and Gone Girl, The 9th Life of Louis Drax is a supernatural thriller filled with unexpected twists and turns.
