Emile Hirsch plays a court stenographer out for revenge in the first trailer for Mick Davis’ Walden, coming to select theaters on November 10 and in digital and VOD on December 12. Two years after his last film, Father Christmas Is Back, Mick Davis moves away from comedy and presents a dark dramatic thriller that explores the life of a man who has accumulated frustrations over the years and who, upon discovering that he has a terminal illness, decides to take justice into his own hands since he has nothing to lose.
Written and directed by Davis, Walden stars Emile Hirsch, Shane West, Kelli Garner, Tania Raymonde and David Keith, among others. Check out the new trailer below along with the official synopsis:
“People collect sweaters, Walden Dean collects the testaments of justice. He is a stenographer, and being the ghost of the courtroom, his mind is agonizingly crammed witnessing the torrent of injustice – until now. Discovering he has a terminal illness sends him into a rage that has been simmering deep within him for years. Now he is about to take justice into his own hands in the most gruesome ways imaginable. But there is a more gruesome piece of business Walden will need to deal with: a pedophile serial killer right on his small town’s own doorstep.”
Emile Hirsch Is Hard at Work
Emile Hirsch was only 11 years old when he first appeared in front of a camera in the series Kindred: The Embraced and in the film Sugared Peas. It took six years for him to return to the movies with The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys and The Emperor’s Club, although in between he made several television projects. But since 2002, he hasn’t stopped.
In 2004, he was already a familiar face in Hollywood after starring in The Girl Next Door alongside Elisha Cuthbert, a typical teen comedy from the early 00s. In 2005 and 2006 he would change course a bit with Lords of Dogtown and Alpha Dog, but his definitive turn of page would come in 2007 with Into the Wild.
The fifth film directed by Sean Penn not only marked the director’s career, but also that of the actor, who won a long list of awards for his portrayal of Chris McCandless. The story tells the real adventure of a man who traveled across North America to Alaska, in order to distance himself from society after abandoning all his possessions and donating all his savings. The following year he would work with Penn again on Milk, another biopic, and would have his first big opportunity in a major blockbuster in the Wachoswki sisters’ adaptation of Speed Racer.
However, the actor prefers to continue in lower profile films. Although from time to time he appears in large projects such as his participation in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 2019. This year he released two more films, both directed by Danny A. Abeckaser’s: The Inside Man and The Engineer.
Walden is due to be released On Demand & Digital from December 12th, 2023.
