Hello, this is Dom…

From Magus Films, the conspiracy thriller – Empire of Lies – will be released in the UK on 27th March. Here’s what they had to say:

Empire of Lies follows David “Dave” Harris, a reclusive man living on the fringes of society who agrees to an interview about the unresolved murder of his daughter. As the interrogation unfolds, Dave’s belief that he was framed by the State begins to unravel, blurring the line between truth, obsession and self-deception.

The film stars Joseph Millson (Casino Royale, The Last Kingdom, 24: Live Another Day and Banished) who anchors the film’s two-hander structure with a performance that moves between vulnerability, suspicion and moral ambiguity.

Directed by Matthew Hope (The Veteran, All the Devil’s Men), Empire of Lies marks a shift in style and tone for the filmmaker, moving towards a more intimate, performance-led and psychologically driven approach, while continuing his exploration of paranoia, institutional mistrust and moral ambiguity.

This comes off the back of Magus Films’ expansion into hands-on UK distribution for selected completed independent features, with Empire of Lies set to be the company’s first theatrical and digital release. As part of the overall release strategy, Magus Films has also facilitated the attachment of international sales agent Exit 44 Entertainment, which will represent Empire of Lies worldwide.
