Ahead of its US limited release next month, a poster and trailer have arrived online for director Jim Sheridan’s adaptation of Sebastian Barry’s 2008 novel The Secret Scripture. The upcoming drama stars Rooney Mara, Eric Bana, Vanessa Redgrave, Theo James, Aidan Turner, and Jack Reynor; take a look below…
Roseanne McNulty (Vanessa Redgrave/Rooney Mara), a once vibrant and lively beauty in her youth, has spent the majority of her adult life confined to a mental hospital in rural Ireland. She has been institutionalized for so long, no one seems to remember why she was hospitalized in the first place.
When a new chief psychiatrist, Dr. Greene (Eric Bana), arrives, he takes a keen interest in Roseanne. He finds a hidden memoir, written over the course of decades by Roseanne, which unravels the mystery of her incarceration, as well as telling the tale of her passionate, yet tortured, life.
