Turns out Antonio Banderas has a new flick coming out. It’s called BLACK BUTTERFLY, and it is being labeled a suspenseful action drama, adapted from acclaimed French thriller PAPILLON NOIR.
Papillion Noir in French translates to, you guess it, Black Butterfly.
Banderas stars in the film as a reclusive writer struggling to start his career-changing screenplay, while in the local town there has been a series of murder, and abductions, and such.
Now what better way to stay safe during said murders and abductions than to invite the drifter you got into a fight with at the bar back to your secluded house for the weekend? During a storm that cuts off the power to the place? Turns out that’s just what Banderas’ character does. I’m thinking things don’t go very well.
Also, I don’t know about you, but I am getting a real strong SECRET WINDOW vibe from this flick. But maybe that’s just me… Anyhow, you can check out the film’s cool poster below, along with the official trailer. Enjoy!
BLACK BUTTERFLY synopsis:
Outside a mountain town grappling with a series of abductions and murders, Paul (Antonio Banderas), a reclusive writer, struggles to start what he hopes will be a career-saving screenplay. After a tense encounter at a diner with a drifter named Jack (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), Paul offers Jack a place to stay – and soon the edgy, demanding Jack muscles his way into Paul’s work. As a storm cuts off power to the isolated cabin, the two men begin a jagged game of one-upmanship that will bring at least one tale to an end.
