Solstice Studios has acquired the futuristic thriller Mind Fall, written by Academy Award-winner Graham Moore (The Imitation Game) with Cedric Jimenez (The Connection) signed on to direct. Mind Fall, which will be produced by Studio 8’s Jeff Robinov, Guy Danella and John Graham, marks the second project to come from Studio 8 and Solstice Studios’ strategic partnership, whose most recent film includes Robert Rodriguez’s action thriller Hypnotic starring Academy Award-winner Ben Affleck. Solstice will finance and distribute the film in the U.S. and handle international sales.

Mind Fall is a thriller set in the near future where illegal new technology allows specific memories to be removed from one person’s brain and inserted into another’s. The story follows one woman’s journey into the black market of memories, soon finding herself accused of murdering a man she has no recollection of knowing.

The film stars Gilles Lellouche and is scheduled to open late 2020.
