We Need to Talk About Kevin
This title presents a film starring Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly, directed by Lynne Ramsay, to premiere at Cannes in May 2011, with UK release in summer 2011. Eva never really wanted to be a mother; certainly not the mother of the unlovable boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker and a teacher who tried to befriend him. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood and Kevin's horrific rampage in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her absent husband, Franklyn. Uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood from the start, Eva fears that her alarming dislike for her own son may be responsible for driving him so nihilistically off the rails. Adapted and directed by Lynne Ramsay ( Morvern Callar , and Ratcatcher ), the film of We Need to Talk About Kevin stars Tila Swinton ( I Am Love ) and John C. Reilly ( The Aviator ), with Ezra Miller ( Californication ) as the eponymous teenage murderer.
