Weinstein Company LLC is tentatively scheduled to release Gregory J. Read's Murderous Intent (Like Minds) on DVD in the U.S. on August 14th; the DVD is to be distributed by Genius Products LLC (which is jointly owned by Weinstein Company LLC and Genius Products Inc.), and is available for pre-order from ScreenAnarchy affiliate Amazon.com Inc.. (Note: "Murderous Intent" is the title of the U.S. DVD release of the movie; "Like Minds" was its original title.) Dendy Films Pty. Ltd. released the movie theatrically in Australia on November 9th of last year.
As was previously reported here on ScreenAnarchy, the screenplay for Murderous Intent was written by Read. The movie stars Toni Collette, Eddie Redmayne, Tom Sturridge, Cathryn Bradshaw, Kate Maberly, Patrick Malahide, Jon Overton, Richard Roxburgh, Amit Shah, Ben Szoradi, and David Threfall.
Here's a description of Murderous Intent from the website of the Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Film (BIFFF): "After the shotgun death of schoolboy Nigel Colby, his 17-year old roommate Alex Forbes is placed in a juvenile institution. With mounting pressure from Alex's influential father to have the murder charges dropped, inspector McKenzie appoints forensic psychologist Sally Rowe to determine if there is sufficient evidence to find Alex culpable. Sally begins to unravel the truth behind Nigel's death. Alex and Nigel are reluctant roommates in a privileged boarding school. In an attempt to understand Nigel's morbid fascination with all things dead, Alex enters his macabre world, and is drawn into a psychological game. Each boy vying to control the other's mind, they plunge headlong into a spellbinding world of dark secrets and deadly mind games.
Writer-director Gregory J. Read has fashioned a chilling psychological thriller about what makes a psychopath tick, with sterling performances from young actors Eddie Redmayne -- who recently starred opposite Robert De Niro in The Good Shepherd -- as Alex, and Tom Sturridge (Fairytale: A True Story) as Nigel. Tony Collette (Muriel's Wedding, The Sixth Sense, The Hours) unravels their minds as Sally Rowe, and Richard Roxburg (Van Helsing, Fragile, Stealth) plays inspector McKenzie. Like Minds is a terrifying reminder that shared obsession is a dangerous thing."
