The trailer for the new crime drama Secret In Their Eyes has hit the web, showing Julia Roberts going to another dark place after her Oscar-nominated turn in August: Osage County. The Oscar winner is joined by Nicole Kidman and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Written and directed by Captain Phillips writer Billy Ray, the film is based on Juan Jose Campanella’s acclaimed 2009 film, which won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language film. Roberts plays Jess, an FBI agent whose daughter is killed. Ejiofor is her partner and Kidman plays their district attorney supervisor. Thirteen years after the murder, there’s a new lead, so Kidman and Ejiofor have to stop Roberts before she kills the killer.
“She saw the potential in there and didn’t ask me to rewrite the part too terribly much in order to make it a woman,” Ray told Yahoo Movies of Roberts’ performance. “She just dove in.”
Ray also pulled off a coup by getting Oscar winners Kidman and Roberts in the same movie for the first time. Ejiofor was also nominated for an Oscar for his performance in 12 Years A Slave.
“I can’t believe those three actors are all in one frame in a movie that I wrote and directed,” Ray told Yahoo. “A year ago I would have been happy just knowing those three people. And then I get to go make a movie with them!”
The new movie hits theaters on Oct. 23.
