Reese Witherspoon will be the producer of a thriller

Not so long ago it became known that the "blonde in the law" Reese Witherspoon, together with the film producer Bruno Papandrea, who represents the company Pacific Standard, acquired the rights to screen the novel "Drought", which belongs to the pen of Australian journalist Jane Harper.

Let's talk about the plot of the film "The Dry"

In a criminal thriller, as it should be in this genre, the narrative begins with a grim murder: farmer Luke Hudper sends another family to the world. Moreover, for incomprehensible reasons, he also deprives himself of life. However, the brave police officer Aaron Falk, who, incidentally, was the friend of the deceased, is called to investigate the circumstances of the case. Falk is forced to return to the village of his childhood, where the unfortunate murders took place. In the process of investigation, the man understands that if the real cause of the death of the farmer and his family is learned by the public, then a story will appear that linked old friends, and it is better not to know about it.

A little about the author and Pacific Standard

The debut novel by Jane Harper was so fond of readers that, in addition, he won this year's literary prize Victorian Premier Literary Award, so many publishing houses have acquired the rights to publish this work.

It is also important to note that Pacific Standart is a film company owned by Rees. Its feature is that it specializes in screening the creations of female authors. So, thanks to Pacific Standart, the world saw such films as "Vanished" (Gillian Flynn) and "Wild. A dangerous journey as a way to find oneself "(Cheryl Strait). In both cases, the company managed to predict the commercial success of the paintings.
