EXCLUSIVE: Screen has obtained the first-look image of Jeremy Piven in the thriller Past Life, one of several new titles on the Cannes sales roster at Clay Epstein’s Film Mode Entertainment.
Past Life follows an investigative reporter, played by Aneurin Barnard, who witnesses a murder through the eyes of a psychotic killer while under hypnosis at an event. He partners with the hypnotist (Piven) to use past life regression techniques to investigate a series of unsolved murders from the 1980s, unwittingly reawakening a psychotic killer’s tendencies.
Simeon Halligan directs the film, which is currently in post-production and also stars Tim McInnerny and Pixie Lott. Halligan, Dean Lines and Ray Bogdanovich co-wrote the screenplay, and the producers are Rachel Richardson-Jones, Pierre Romain, and Michael Laundon, with Michael Bassick and Epstein serving as executive producers. Film Mode will show first footage in Cannes.
