STX Entertainment and Blumhouse Productions’ The Gift is a heart-stopping, thought-provoking psychological thriller from producers Jason Blum and Rebecca Yeldham and actor, writer, producer and first-time director Joel Edgerton (The Great Gatsby, Zero Dark Thirty, Warrior), that asks the question: What if someone you wronged long ago reemerged in your life through a chance encounter?
Simon (Jason Bateman) and Robyn (Rebecca Hall) are a young married couple whose life is going just as planned until a chance encounter with an acquaintance from Simon’s high school sends their world into a harrowing tailspin. Simon doesn’t recognize Gordo (Joel Edgerton) at first, but after a series of uninvited encounters and mysterious gifts prove troubling, a horrifying secret from the past is uncovered after more than 20 years. As Robyn learns the unsettling truth about what happened between Simon and Gordo, she starts to question: how well do we really know the people closest to us, and are past bygones ever really bygones?
Along with Edgerton, producers Rebecca Yeldham (Kite Runner, The Motorcycle Diaries, On the Road) and Jason Blum (Insidious, Paranormal Activity, Whiplash), lead a creative team of incredible collaborators: cinematographer, Eduard Grau (A Single Man, Buried, The Awakening), production designer, Richard Sherman (Beautiful Creatures, Kinsey, Things We Lost in the Fire) and editor, Luke Doolan (Animal Kingdom) all working create a stylish, nail-biting thriller that is both artful and commercial.
