Trailer for ‘Brain on Fire’ Starring Chloë Grace Moretz & Carrie-Anne Moss
Broad Green Pictures and D Films have released the first trailer for writer/director Gerard Barrett’s (Glassland) upcoming medical drama Brain on Fire. An adaptation of Susannah Cahalan’s bestselling memoir, the film “captures the horrifying experience of one woman’s unexplained descent into madness and the medical miracle it took to pull her back from the brink.”
Tyler Perry, Richard Armitage, Jenny Slate & Thomas Mann also star. Brain on Fire will be released by Netflix some time this year.
One morning, 24-year-old Susannah Cahalan woke up in a hospital bed. She couldn’t speak. She couldn’t move. And she had no idea how she got there.
Fresh out of journalism school and ready to embark on adult life, Susannah (Chloë Grace Moretz) already seemed to have it all: her dream job at the New York Post, supportive co-workers (Tyler Perry and Jenny Slate), a devoted boyfriend (Thomas Mann), and a loving family (Richard Armitage and Carrie-Anne Moss).
Then, almost overnight, this ingénue went from one of the Post’s most reliable reporters to an unstable, paranoid shell of her former self. Plagued by auditory hallucinations and memory loss, doctors dismissed her condition with a diagnosis of partying too hard and stress. But as her condition worsened, the stakes grew higher, and the race to find an answer became a matter of life and death.
