“Untangle yourself from your parents… the sooner you stop relying on them, the more powerful you will be.” What kind of cult is this? Vertical has revealed an official trailer for an indie thriller titled A Sacrifice, a cult drama set in Berlin. This is the latest film directed by Ridley Scott’s daughter Jordan Scott, following her feature debut Cracks from back in 2009. American social psychologist Ben Monroe investigates a local cult connected to a disturbing event, while his daughter becomes entangled with a mysterious boy. While he immerses himself in his work trying to understand what is going on with this mysterious cult, his rebellious teen daughter, Mazzy, ends up embroiled with this German boy and another strange woman. Starring Eric Bana, Sadie Sink, Jonas Dassler, Sylvia Hoeks, Sophie Rois, Stephan Kampwirth, & Lara Feith. It’s “inspired by” a book that was originally set in Tokyo, however they shifted the location to Berlin instead, which is a bit strange because none of this film’s sotry feels like anything that would be happening in Berlin.
Inspired by Nicholas Hogg’s 2015 novel Tokyo Nobody, A Sacrifice is an emotionally turbulent story that follows American social psychologist Ben Monroe who is investigating a local Berlin cult connected to disturbing events. While he immerses himself in his work, his rebellious teenage daughter, Mazzy, becomes embroiled with a mysterious local boy who introduces her to the city’s underground party scene. As their two worlds head toward a dangerous intersection, Ben will need to race against the clock in order to save his daughter. A Sacrifice is directed by the British filmmaker Jordan Scott, daughter of filmmaker Ridley Scott, and the director of the film Cracks previously, plus some other short films and a few music videos. The screenplay is also written by Jordan Scott, inspired by Nicholas Hogg’s book “Tokyo Nobody”. Produced by Jonas Katzenstein, Maximilian Leo, Georgina Pope, Michael Pruss, and Ridley Scott. Vertical will debut Scott’s A Sacrifice in select US theaters starting June 28th, 2024 this summer. Who’s interested in this?
