Lange will reprise her Tony-winning role as Mary Tyrone, starring alongside Harris as her husband, James. Releasing in select theaters Sept. 25, the film will also be screened at Film at Lincoln Center on Monday.
Also starring in “Long Day’s Journey Into Night” are Ben Foster as the alcoholic eldest son, Jamie, and Colin Morgan as the optimistically poetic younger son, Edmund, who is based on O’Neill. The author’s autobiographical play follows the Tyrone family as they work through their personal traumas while navigating a balance of love and resentment they hold toward each other.
“We are thrilled to bring director Jonathan Kent’s remarkable feature debut to U.S. audiences,” said Berry Meyerowitz and Jeff Sackman, the co-presidents of Quiver Distribution. “Kent has brought together a powerhouse cast, led by the incredible Jessica Lange to tell O’Neill’s story. Jessica is nothing short of mesmerizing, giving what may be the defining performance of her illustrious career across stage and screen.”
