FALLEN Movie First Photo; Based On Lauren Kate’s Books

Scheduled for a 2015 theatrical release, here’s a first look at FALLEN. Based on the worldwide bestselling book series by Lauren Kate, Australian filmmaker Scott Hicks (Shine) will direct from a script by Michael Ross.

FALLEN is seen through the eyes of Lucinda “Luce” Price, a strong-willed seventeen-year-old living a seemingly ordinary life until she is accused of a crime she didn’t commit. Sent off to the imposing Sword & Cross reform school, Luce finds herself being courted by two young men to whom she feels oddly connected. Isolated and haunted by strange visions, Luce begins to unravel the secrets of her past and discovers the two men are fallen angels, competing for her love for centuries. Luce must choose where her feelings lie, pitting Heaven against Hell in an epic battle over true love.

FALLEN stars Addison Timlin (Stand Up Guys), Jeremy Irvine (War Horse), Harrison Gilbertson (Need For Speed) alongside Joely Richardson (The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo). Rounding out the cast are Lola Kirke (Gone Girl) along with Sianoa Smit-McPhee (Hung), Daisy Head (Endeavour), Hermione Corfield (Maleficent) and Malachi Kirby (My Brother the Devil).
