IFC Films has announced that that they have gained the U.S. theatrical distribution rights to Australian director Garth Davis’ biblical drama film Mary Magdalene.
The biblical biopic tells the story of Mary (Rooney Mara), a young woman in search of a new way of living.
Starring Academy Award-nominated actors Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara, the company is planning to release the film next month on April 12, just in time for the start of the Holy Week.
Written by Helen Edmundson and Philippa Goslett, Mary Magdalene also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Tahar Rahim.
