Abbie Cornish Uses Lavender to Mask the Smell of Death
Another murder-driven thriller is headed our way starring Abbie Cornish (RoboCop, Sucker Punch) and Dermot Mulroney. Variety is reporting that the pair will star in the psychological thriller Lavender from director Ed Gass-Donnelly (The Last Exorcism Part II), with shooting starting later this month in Toronto.
AMBI Distribution is handling international sales, excluding Canada, where Pacific Northwest Pictures has distribution rights and will release the film. XYZ Films will handle domestic sales. Lavender will be introduced to buyers for the first time at Cannes.
Cornish will play a photographer struggling with severe memory loss. Strange clues among her photos begin to suggest that she may be responsible for the deaths of family members she never knew she had.
Gass-Donnelly is also producing the film with Dave Valleau through Valleau’s South Creek Pictures banner. Andrea Iervolino and Lady Monika Bacardi’s AMBI Group is co-financing Lavender with Silvio Muraglia’s Paradox Studios, with additional financing provided by the Movie Network, Movie Central, the Harold Greenberg Fund, and Telefilm Canada. Iervolino, Bacardi, and Muraglia are executive producers along with Jennifer Levine, Emily Alden, and Tex Antonucci.
