The historical fantasy film is directed by Julia Jackman from a script she wrote.
“It’s been a joy to shape its world and characters into something new, and I’m thrilled it found a home at Independent Film Company,” she said in a previous statement. “I cannot wait to share it with a broader audience– led by the extraordinary talents of our brilliant ensemble cast.”
Amir El-Masry, Charli xcx, Richard E. Grant and Felicity Jones also star in the film, which arrives in theaters Dec. 5. 100 Nights of Hero will have its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival.
