When the third novel by Illiyian Flynn, "Gone Girl", hit the shelves, it absolutely blew it. And the 2014 film adaptation by David Fincher was even greater, turning Flynn into name to be considered almost overnight. Was the best -selling book for a woman who lied to her kidnapping was Stunning movie debut It made him feel like something that touched Flynn, he would turn to gold. Although she will continue to write the scenario of the criminalized drama of Steve McQueen "widows", the first major follow -up to Flynn's mass success of Gone Girl was an adaptation of her second novel "Dark Places" for a woman trying to resolve her family killing. "Dark Places" is a much more complicated novel than "Gone Girl", but with a script and direction than the talented Illil package and seriously called the actor, the film seemed to have a real blow to succeed. Unfortunately, the "dark places" simply did not have the same magic as "Gone Girl", with overwhelming negative critical reviews and returning to the free boxy.

Despite starring Charlize Theron as a surviving member of the Libby Day family, Nicholas Hult as a real crime obsessive Liel Wirth, and Christina Hendrix in retrospectives like Liby's mother (with everyone who brings their work), "dark places" The wicked sharp "year girl".

Some novels are more difficult to adapt than others, and Gone Girl is quite linear with a very specific narrative and narrative voice, while Dark Suction has multiple narrators and perspectives, both in the past and in the present, somewhat at the same time to direct their mystery. Amy Dan, the protagonist of the "Lord Girl" is Kind of girl for the villain for centuriesBut Libbon's day is more than a broken anti -hero, which is also stricter sales. Theron is as great as Libby, with shades of her performances in "Brick" and "Young Adult" by Jason Retman, but unfortunately, the script simply does not deliver the story well enough to work "dark places".

"Dark Places" is really a novel killer, and fortunately, Flynn will get another chance to adjust the story, This time as a series for HBO. The story would sincerely work much better as a series because it would allow sequences for retrospective to be deeper and have time to breathe, something that the film simply lacks. Not only that, but Flynn will play a much bigger role this time around, co-showing the series with Brett Nsonson ("Ray Donovan", "Crazy Men") and co-creating and writing with Gerin Gardner, her husband. Although definitely fierce, the film "Dark Places" just didn't work, especially given that incredible cast, at least we hope to get an adaptation worthy of the original material. Only time will say.
