Black Butterfly — Trailer

added: Tue, Mar 21st '17

Antonio Banderas becomes a prisoner in his own home in the newly released trailer for the hostage thriller "Black Butterfly," which also stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Mission: Impossible III, History's Vikings) and Piper Perabo (TV's Covert Affairs).

Based on a French thriller, the film sees Banderas as a down-on-his-luck writer who lives in a secluded cabin near a small mountain town. His life takes an unexpected turn when he helps out a charismatic drifter (Rhys Meyers), who turns out to be a dangerous fugitive on the run.

Character actor Brian Goodman (from TV's "Rizzoli & Isles"), who made his writing and directorial debut with the semi-biographical Boston crime thriller "What Doesn't Kill You," directs "Black Butterfly," which is set to hit theaters and VOD on May 26th.

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.
