Paradise Hills
Producer and editor Alice Waddington makes her directorial debut with the fantasy/sci-fi film Paradise Hills, a US-Spanish co-production which she wrote alongside Brian DeLeeuw and director Nacho Vigalondo (of Timecrimes and Colossal fame). Produced by Adrian Guerra and Nuria Vilas, Waddington has assembled a notable cast with Milla Jovovich, Emma Roberts, Awkwafina, Eliza Gonzalez, Jeremy Irvine and French actor Arnaud Valois (of BPM, 2017) in a narrative which sounds comparable to Lucile Hadzihalilovic’s 2004 debut Innocence.
Gist: A wayward girl is sent to the reform school Paradise Hills only to discover the high-class façade holds sinister secrets.
Release Date/Prediction: Paradise Hills will premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival in the NEXT program, and is the second Spanish produced film to preem at the fest in its history.
