Alexandre Aja has made great horror movies like Haute Tension, The Hills Have Eyes, Mirrors, Piranha 3D and Horns.
Now he’s trying out for the fantasy-thriller The 9th Life of Louis Drax, with a manuscript written by actor Max Minghella (Horns). There’s also a great cast consisting of Jamie Dornan (The Fall), Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) and Sara Gadon (11/22/63) in the leading roles. Plus, we get Oliver Platt (A Time to Kill), Molly Parker (House of Cards), Barbara Hershey (Insidious) and Aiden Longworth (The X-Files) in supporting roles.
The plot for The 9th Life of Louis Drax is this:
After surviving eight near-death accidents throughout his unlucky life, Louis Drax plunges off a steep cliff on his ninth birthday. While police investigate the cause of Louis’ near-fatal fall and the whereabouts of his violent father Peter, acclaimed neurologist Dr. Allan Pascal uses unorthodox techniques to try to tap into the boy’s unconscious mind and reveal the truth about the events that led to his condition. But as he’s drawn deeper and deeper into the mystery of Louis’ seeming ability to cheat death, the doctor finds himself falling for Louis’ mother, Natalie. As new clues emerge in the case, a shocking revelation changes the fates of Louis Drax and everyone around him.
The 9th Life of Louis Drax will open in US theaters on September 2, 2016.
