Cillian Murphy and Sigourney Weaver star in Red Lights, a new thriller from writer/director Rodrigo Cortes. The R-rated drama is opening in theaters on July 13, 2012 and finds Murphy and Weaver playing paranormal investigators.
The cast also includes Robert De Niro, Toby Jones, Elizabeth Olsen, Joely Richardson, Craig Roberts, Leonardo Sbaraglia, and Leonardo Palladino.
Official Synopsis: Veteran paranormal researchers Dr. Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver) and Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy) debunk fraudulent claims of ghost whispering, faith healing, and other psychic phenomena by detecting what Matheson calls “red lights,” the subtle tricks behind every staged supernatural occurrence. But when the legendary blind psychic Simon Silver (Robert De Niro)comes out of retirement after 30 years, his once-fearless adversary Matheson warns Buckley to back off, fearing reprisal from the powerful Silver.
Determined to discredit Silver, Buckley and his star student (Elizabeth Olsen) use every tool at their disposal to uncover the truth behind the charismatic, spoon-bending mind reader. But Buckley is forced to reexamine his own core beliefs as his quest builds to a mind-blowing conclusion in this taut psychological thriller from award-winning writer and director Rodrigo Cortés (Buried).
