Ryan Reynolds didn’t exactly stomp the box office this summer wearing the suit of a DC superhero or Jason Bateman, but how will he do with some good old-fashioned family hardship and suffocating guilt? We’ll find out in FIREFLIES IN THE GARDEN, which has been awaiting release since 2008, aging like a fine wine or a depressing movie nobody really wants to see.
Joining Reynolds in the kin catastrophe are Julia Roberts, Willem Dafoe, Hayden Panettierre, Ioan Gruffud, Emily Watson and Carrie-Anne Moss. The drama finally unfolds on October 14th.
The synopsis: To an outsider, the Taylors are the very picture of the successful American family: Charles is a tenured professor on track to become university president, son Michael is a prolific and well-known romance novelist, daughter Ryne is poised to enter a prestigious law school, and on the day we are introduced to them, matriarch Lisa will graduate from college — decades after leaving to raise her children. But when a serious accident interrupts the celebration, the far more nuanced reality of this Midwestern family’s history and relationships come to light.
