Liz Jensen’s bestselling 2009 novel “The Rapture” is to be adapted into a five-part drama starring Ruth Madeley, and produced by Mammoth Screen for BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
The writer is Bryony Kimmings (“Last Christmas”), with Rebecca Manley, and is directed by Chanya Button.
Recovering from a car crash which has left her paralysed, forensic psychologist Gabrielle Fox (Madeley) takes a job working in a maximum security facility for juvenile patients. Here she meets 16-year-old inmate Bethany Krall, who was found guilty of brutally murdering her mother, and tells Gabs that she has psychic powers. Is she a highly manipulative psychopath or is she telling the truth when she says she can foretell a natural disaster linked to climate catastrophe?
Madeley said: “I loved Liz Jensen’s novel and Bryony Kimmings’ scripts are brilliantly inventive and funny and scary. Gabs is such a rich and complex character, and I cannot wait to play her.

Raphael Coleman, who starred alongside Emma Thompson and Colin Firth in the 2005 film “Nanny McPhee,” died on Friday after collapsing on a run. He was 25 years old.
The British actor appeared in three feature films, “It’s Alive” and “The Fourth Kind” in 2009. He then studied zoology at the University of Manchester before dedicating himself to activism, working with the environmental movement Extinction Rebellion to advocate for wildlife conservation.
Liz Jensen confirmed the news over social media. “Rest in peace my beloved son Raphael Coleman, aka Iggy Fox,” she said. “He died doing what he loved, working for the noblest cause of all. His family could not be prouder. Let’s celebrate all he achieved in his short life and cherish his legacy.”
Jensen also shared an essay that Coleman had written for Extinction Rebellion titled “This is Why I Rebel.” In his writing, Coleman describes the obligation he feels toward the movement.

The 9th Life Of Louis Drax is…well…interesting. Let’s put it that way. Surely you’d think a comatose boy’s adventure through subconscious waters (literal representation) would trump all, but – or, rather, instead – we’re presented an overbearing story about the dangers of infidelity. Alexandre Aja attempts to parlay his stranglehold on horror into something more darkly whimsical, which unfortunately doesn’t translate into intensified family drama.
It’s pretty harmless younger-adult material adapted from Liz Jensen’s source novelization, and by harmless, I mean a sobering lullaby that ushers in dreamland. Blame blandness, blame Jamie Dornan’s papier-mâché exterior, blame tone deaf narration – honestly, blame it all – because there’s a touching story buried underneath all this soap-opera daddy drama.

Ten years after Anthony Minghella optioned Liz Jensen‘s The 9th Life of Louis Drax to develop cinematically, it was his son Max who saw it begin production. The younger Minghella’s first credited screenplay, probably brought to director Alexandre Aja on set of their previous collaboration Horns, it would ultimately take another two for the finished film’s release. If I were to wager a guess as to why I’d say the distributors found themselves painted in a corner unable to figure out how to sell it. Rated R for reasons that probably could have been cut to earn a PG-13 if desired, the story arrives from the viewpoint of a nine year-old boy—his dark fantasy delivered in a way that feels perfectly primed for teenagers rather than adults.
Young Louis Drax (Aiden Longworth) is an original. He’s smart, perceptive, and extremely accident-prone from the womb.

“Accident-prone” is how doctors describe the main character of “The 9th Life of Louis Drax,” a nine-year-old boy who’s survived nine near-death experiences. Louis has been electrocuted, stung by a swarm of bees, and had a chandelier fall on him as a baby, each time narrowly avoiding death to start a new “life.” Can a single child get into that many accidents, or are greater forces at work? That is the question looming over every frame of director Alexandre Aja’s mysterious thriller based on Liz Jensen’s best-selling novel of the same name. Though the movie skillfully straddles the line between the real and supernatural, it never delivers on its darkly intriguing premise.

“The 9th Life of Louis Drax” works as both a children’s movie for adults and a grownup movie for kids, a rare balancing act most young-adult fare can’t pull off. Director Alexandre Aja‘s big-screen version of the best-selling novel by Liz Jensen (adapted by Max Minghella) is the kind of film you can imagine today’s kiddos one day recalling as the first “real” movie they saw growing up, its tone dark but not despairing. The film’s titular young hero (Aiden Longworth) is as accident-prone as he is resilient: Louis has survived one near-death experience in each year of his life.

Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, as well as other cool events and things to check out.
This Past Weekend:
As expected, Fede Alvarez’s thriller Don’t Breathe (Screen Gems), starring Jane Levy and Stephen Lang, won the weekend, but it did way more than we predicted, doing better than most movies released in the last weekend of August, winning the weekend with $26.4 million, pretty much double what I predicted. That’s a pretty great testament to the power of Screen Gems’ marketing campaign and that’s more than double what the movie cost to make. Jason Statham’s Mechanic: Resurrection (Summit/Lionsgate) didn’t fare as well as it opened in fifth place with $7.5 million in 2,258 theaters, about where I predicted. Of the more moderate releases, the Obama date movie Southside with You (Roadside Attractions) took in $3 million in around 800 theaters,...

It’s hard to say much about director’s Alexandre Aja’s latest movie The 9th Life of Louis Drax without spoiling some of its many twists.
Based on Liz Jensen’s novel and adapted by actor Max Minghella (who appeared in Aja’s previous movie Horns), the thriller stars Aiden Longworth as the title character, a young accident-prone boy who has survived numerous near-death experiences only to fall off a cliff while picnicking with his parents (Aaron Paul and Sarah Gadon). The fall puts Louis into a coma and as his father, the prime suspect, goes on the run, Louis’ mother starts to have feelings for his doctor (Jamie Dornan), who also wonders if there’s more to what happened than what he’s being told.

There are a fair number of odd stories coming to theaters in the next few months, but it’s going to be hard for any of them to compare to The 9th Life of Louis Drax, which hits September 2nd.
The film is based on the book by Liz Jensen, and is interestingly directed by Alexandre Aja, who managed some fine, if underappeciated, work on Horns. Neither film is likely to stand out to anyone as a powerhouse effort of direction, but Horns delivered a powerful subtlety in its conversations that bodes well here.
The film’s trailer has already been around (see below), but there’s something odd about its avoidance of the story’s titular oddity, and while posters (let’s face it) are really neither here nor there when it comes to ramping up excitement for a film, this teaser is a nice effort at laying the foundation of layering.

"Children always know so much more than we think..." Lionsgate has revealed an intriguing trailer for a psychological thriller called The 9th Life of Louis Drax, adapted from Liz Jensen's novel of the same name. The film tells the story of a boy who has survived eight near-death accidents throughout his strange life so far, and falls off of a cliff on his ninth birthday during a picnic with his parents, once again barely surviving. The cast features Jamie Dornan, Sarah Gadon, Aaron Paul, Oliver Platt, Molly Parker, Barbara Hershey, and Aiden Longworth as Louis Drax. There's some really weird stuff going on in this that makes it look like much more than just any old thriller, and it's worth taking a look at because it's so fascinating. What's up with this kid? I guess we'll have to see this (or read the book) to find out. Take a look.

Fifty Shades star Jamie Dornan ventures beyond death in the eerie first trailer for The 9th Life of Louis Drax, Lionsgate’s much-anticipated adaptation that places newcomer Aiden Longworth in the shoes of the doomed Louis Drax.
In the wake of a tragic accident (?), Longworth’s pint-sized protagonist is trapped in a coma on the eve of his ninth birthday and as more evidence begins to emerge, Dornan’s decorated neurologist Allan Pascal begins to suspect that there’s something bigger at play than a simple tumble over the edge.
As Pascal’s methods begin to stray further and further from the norm, today’s snippet begins to indulge in supernatural elements, as Dornan’s character experiments with a mind-bending technique in a last-ditch attempt to communicate with Louis Drax who is, at this point, teetering on the clutches of death.

Alexandre Aja’s Horns proved to be a neat, twisted thriller from the man who once brought us Piranha 3D, and the French director is back in the saddle with The 9th Life of Louis Drax, psychological thriller based on Liz Jensen’s best-selling novel. Taking a break from Christian Grey, Jamie Dornan plays a doctor who uses unorthodox methods to tap into the consciousness of the titular nine year old to discover the circumstance that lead to him being in a coma. I’m a sucker for a good psychological thriller, and this looks incredibly promising, with a compelling mystery wrapped up in some intriguing visuals. The cast isn’t half bad either, with Dornan, channeling The Fall rather than Fifty Shades of Grey, ably backed up by Aaron Paul, Sarah Gadon, Oliver Platt, and Barbara Hershey.

After Alexandre Aja directed Max Minghella in Horns a few years back, they two are collaborating again. The director is helming Minghella’s first feature screenplay with The 9th Life of Louis Drax, which is based on Liz Jensen‘s book. Led by Jamie Dornan, Sarah Gadon, Aaron Paul, Oliver Platt, Molly Parker, Barbara Hershey, and Aiden Longworth, the first trailer has now landed.
A mix of psychological thriller and fantasy, there’s some interesting imagery in the film, even if it looks like Aja is working with a lower budget this time around. Shot back in 2014, the film will finally arrive this fall and hopefully the delay didn’t have to do with its quality, but we’ll find out shortly. Check out the trailer below.
