CARNAGE is coming to theaters nationwide on December 16th from Sony Pictures Classics. The drama is written and directed by Roman Polanski and stars Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly.
The film takes place immediately after two 11-year-old children get involved in a fight and the parents of both children meet the same night to discuss the matter. One boy's father is a lawyer who is never off his mobile phone. Ferdinand's mother, his wife manages his money. The other boy's father is a self-made wholesaler with an unwell mother who is writing a book about Darfur. As the evening goes on, the meeting degenerates into the four getting into irrational arguments, and their discussion falls into the loaded topics of misogyny, racial prejudice and homophobia.
CARNAGE is the movie version of Yasmina Reva's Tony-winning play, God of Carnage. After receiving rave reviews in London, God of Carnage opened on Broadway March 22, 2009 to unanimous praise. The Yasmina Reza comedy won the Tony Award for Best Play and Best Direction of a Play (Matthew Warchus). God of Carnage also won the 2009 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy. God of Carnage reunites the creative team that staged the Tony Award-winning Best Play, Art. Designed by Mark Thompson (sets and costumes), with lighting by Hugh Vanstone, sound by Simon Baker & Chris Cronin, the play has music by Gary Yershon. The production closed in 2010 with Jeff Daniels, Janet McTeer, Lucy Liu and Dylan Baker.
