Paul Schrader\u2019s Crime Thriller \u2018Master Gardener\u2019 Starring Joel Edgerton, Sigourney Weaver & Quintessa Swindell Acquired By Magnolia Pictures: <\/h1>\n

Magnolia Pictures has snapped up U.S. rights to Master Gardener \u2014 the latest starry feature from Academy Award nominee Paul Schrader (First Reformed), which world premiered at this year\u2019s Venice Film Festival and most recently screened at the New York Film Festival. Pic is slated for release next year.<\/p>\n

The crime thriller scripted by Schrader \u2014 marking the last film in his recent trilogy including First Reformed and The Card Counter \u2014 follows Narvel Roth (Loving\u2018s Joel Edgerton), the meticulous horticulturist of Gracewood Gardens. He is as much devoted to tending the grounds of this beautiful and historic estate as to pandering to his employer, the wealthy dowager Mrs. Haverhill (Avatar\u2018s Sigourney Weaver). When Mrs. Haverhill demands that he take on her wayward and troubled great-niece Maya (Black Adam\u2018s Quintessa Swindell) as a new apprentice, chaos enters Narvel\u2019s spartan existence, unlocking dark secrets from a buried violent past that threaten them all. <\/p>\n

Master Gardener was produced by Schrader\u2019s manager, David Gonzales, as well as Amanda Crittenden (The Nightingale, HBO\u2019s The Leftovers) and Scott LaStaiti (The Infiltrator, Jane Got a Gun). Ottocento\u2019s Luisa Law, Flickstar\u2019s Jamieson McClurg and KOJO Studios\u2019 Dale Roberts and Linda Ujuk served as exec producers.<\/p>\n

\u201cHorticulture has never seemed so fraught with mystery and peril as in MASTER GARDENER,\u201d said Magnolia Pictures President Eamonn Bowles. \u201cPaul Schrader, ably abetted by his remarkable cast, finds fertile soil for exploring his fascinatingly complex themes in this truly exceptional thriller.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Schrader: \u201cMagnolia has been a class act for over twenty years, and I eagerly anticipate and appreciate their distribution of MASTER GARDENER.\u201d<\/p>\n

Magnolia EVP Dori Begley and SVP of Acquisitions John Von Thaden negotiated the deal for Master Gardener on behalf of the indie film studio, with David Gonzales at Northern Lights and Gabrielle Stewart at HanWay Films on behalf of the filmmakers.<\/p>\n
