Memory and hallucination intertwine to expose a history of trauma, revealing the truth: Elyse is Catatonic and institutionalized in a State Hospital. Her recovery is reliant on the dissolution of her marriage, the restoration of the relationship with her mother, and the mutual absolution with the nanny\u2019s daughter, Carmen. It\u2019s the care from Dr. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins) and the unconditional love from her nurse, David, that promise Elyse a new life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith great respect, I dedicate Elyse to the mental illness community and the memory of my mother,\u201d said Stella Hopkins. \u201cThe film aims to convey my deep personal understanding of the devastation a family endures when a loved one is painfully afflicted with a mental disorder. It was a great honor to work alongside cinematography master, Dante Spinotti, and direct my outstanding cast and husband, Academy Award winner, Anthony Hopkins.\u201d<\/p>\n<h1>Gravitas\u2019 VP of Acquisitions, Tony Piantedosi handled the rights deal with John McGrath at UTA.<\/h1>\n<p>View this article at <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2020\/10\/anthony-stella-hopkins-elyse-acquired-gravitas-ventures-1234597358\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXCLUSIVE: Gravitas Ventures has secured the North American rights to distribute Elyse, the directorial debut drama from Stella Hopkins starring her husband, Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins.
