Lionsgate have delivered the first trailer for their upcoming drama The 9th Life Of Louis Drax. The film, which stars Jamie Dornan, Aaron Paul and Sarah Gadon, follows a psychologist who begins working with a young boy who has suffered a near-fatal fall and then finds himself drawn into a mystery that tests the boundaries of fantasy and reality.
Alexandre Aja is directing the film, which will see a release in the UK later this year.
Here’s the full synopsis.
After surviving eight near-death accidents throughout his unlucky life, Louis Drax [Aiden Longworth] plunges off a steep cliff on his ninth birthday. While police investigate the cause of Louis’ near-fatal fall and the whereabouts of his violent father Peter [Aaron Paul], acclaimed neurologist Dr. Allan Pascal [Jamie Dornan] uses unorthodox techniques to try to tap into the boy’s unconscious mind and reveal the truth about the events that led to his condition. But as he’s drawn deeper and deeper into the mystery of Louis’ seeming ability to cheat death, the doctor finds himself falling for Louis’ mother, Natalie [Sarah Gadon]. As new clues emerge in the case, a shocking revelation changes the fates of Louis Drax and everyone around him.
No official news on when the film will exactly debut in the UK, but US audiences will get it as of September 2nd.
Here’s the first trailer.
