Another Earth might have beaten it into cinemas, but Sound Of My Voice, the second Brit Marling-starring project from last year’s Sundance Film Festival is now on its way. If you’ve wanted to get a look at some footage, the trailer is now up at Apple.
Voice finds wannabe documentarians Peter (Christopher Denham) and Lorna (Nicole Vicius) finally making their way into the inner sanctum of a cult working out of the San Fernando Valley above LA. The central figure is a mysterious young woman named Maggie (Marling), who claims to be from the year 2054 and is also critically ill.
As Peter and Lorna dig deeper, Maggie sticks to her notion that she has come back to 2011 in order to save a select group from a coming collapse of society.
We don’t want to say too much more for fear of giving anything away, but after the festival, our own Damon Wise called it “an intriguing, head-scratching mystery for devourers of **Memento **/ Donnie Darko-style riddles to solve.”
Marling co-wrote the script with director Zal Batmanglij, and distributors Fox Searchlight have been running a viral campaign for the film, including setting up meetings with "cult members" from the story.
Sound Of My Voice hits US cinemas on April 27, and while there’s no set date for the UK release yet, we’re informed that it should follow fairly soon after that.
