Radiant Films International is boarding worldwide sales at Cannes for the psychological thriller “Closure” starring Michael Kelly (“House of Cards”), Kevin Pollak (“The Usual Suspects”), Mena Suvari (“American Beauty”) and Dennis Haysbert (“Heat”), Variety has exclusively learned.
From “Escape Room” director Will Wernick and a script penned by Jason Rosen, “Closure” takes place in 1987 and follows Bureau Chief Frank Morley, played by Kelly, who investigates a correction officer’s death after a prisoner vanishes. The official synopsis reads: “Haunted by the loss of his family, Frank’s unresolved trauma blurs the line between reality and delusion. What begins as a routine procedure quickly spirals into a dangerous search for the truth. As Frank digs deeper, he’s tormented by a sinister presence within the prison walls.”
