Filmmaker JT Mollner and cinematographer (and noted actor) Giovanni Ribisi spoke with MovieWeb’s Will Sayre about their acclaimed new thriller, Strange Darling. They touched on the film’s unique visuals and narrative trickery, and discussed how Ribisi went from acting in Horizon and Avatar movies to photograph a small indie.

In Strange Darling, nothing is what it seems when a twisted one-night stand spirals into a serial killer’s vicious murder spree. The masterful, mysterious movie is released Aug. 23, 2024, from Magenta Light.

Written and directed by JT Mollner (Outlaws & Angels), Strange Darling stars Willa Fitzgerald (The Goldfinch, Reacher), Kyle Gallner (Smile, Dinner in America), Ed Begley Jr. (Better Call Saul, A Mighty Wind), and Barbara Hershey (Black Swan, Insidious). Distributed by Magenta Light Studios, Strange Darling is a Miramax and Spooky Pictures Production. The film is produced by Bill Block, Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Giovanni Ribisi and Chris Ivan Cevic, with Giovanni Ribisi also serving as the Director of Photography.
