If you haven't read Gone Girl yet, what are you waiting for? It's only a watershed moment in crime fiction and the reinvention of the femme fatale. Dark Places is Flynn's second novel - Gone Girl was actually published three years later, though the adaptation made it to screens much more quickly. Dark Places is adapted from a novel by Gillian Flynn, the same wonderfully twisted mind that conceived the book the David Fincher movie was based on. But if its brand of snarling social commentary and horrifically cold characters seem familiar, that's because some of the same ruled movie theaters last summer in Gone Girl. Dark Places is not based, at least closely, on any true events. Like I said, it's creepy - but is it real? Is Dark Places based on a true story?įortunately for humanity, no. They think that her brother is innocent, and they'll pay her to unlock doors and re-open personal wounds to help them prove it. X-Men franchise star Nicholas Hoult plays Lyle Wirth, a member of a morbid, crime-obsessed "Kill Club," who contacts Libby about a money-making opportunity. Theron plays Libby Day, a woman who has all but receded from life since her older brother went to prison for violently murdering the rest of her family. The Charlize Theron thriller, out August 7, is gritty, nasty, and, well, dark. The title alone should be enough caution, but I'm going to warn you anyway: do not go into Dark Places expecting a sunny and life-affirming film.
