Magnolia Pictures has released a poster and trailer for writer-director Paul Schrader’s new thriller Master Gardener.
The film stars Joel Edgerton as a horticulturist who tends the grounds of a wealthy dowager (Sigourney Weaver) who finds his life thrown into chaos and dark secrets from his violent past emerge when he’s asked to take on his employer’s niece (Quintessa Swindell) as an apprentice. Check out the trailer below…
MASTER GARDENER follows Narvel Roth (award-winner Joel Edgerton), the meticulous horticulturist of Gracewood Gardens. He is as much devoted to tending the grounds of this beautiful and historic estate, to pandering to his employer, the wealthy dowager Mrs. Haverhill (three-time Academy Award® nominee Sigourney Weaver). When Mrs. Haverhill demands that he take on her wayward and troubled great-niece Maya (Quintessa Swindell) as a new apprentice, chaos enters Narvel’s spartan existence, unlocking dark secrets from a buried violent past that threaten them all.
Master Gardener arrives in cinemas on May 19th in the US and on May 26th in the UK.
