“Gone Girl” Academy Award-nominee Rosamund Pike is back and gives another nail-biting performance in the upcoming psychological thriller “Return To Sender” where she plays Miranda, a surgical nurse out for revenge after a brutal sexual assault in her home.
Directed by Fouad Mikati,
“Return To Sender” also stars Rumer Willis, Nick Nolte and Shiloh
Fernandez. Pike’s character, Miranda, is an epitome of coolness who
lives life in an effortlessly organized way day in and day out. After
some time, she finally gave in to her colleagues who set her up on a
blind date.
On the day of their
meeting, a man knocked on her door, thinking it was the guy whom her
colleagues set her up to go out with, she welcomes him to her pristine
home only to realize that he is not the man she’s waiting for. Miranda
soon finds herself defeated after struggling to escape from her
assailant, leaving her almost dead after brutally raping her.
The devastating attack
brought out Miranda’s psychopathic tendencies as she tries to befriend
William (Fernandez), her attacker in prison only to plot a harrowing
revenge when he gets out. While in prison, Miranda starts sending
letters to William to get closer to him and has even helped him secure
an early release from prison. Despite stern warning from her father
(played by Nolte) to stop her vengeful plot, Miranda and William agree
to see each other constantly upon the latter’s release from prison.
“Return To Sender” opens in cinemas this June 17 from Pioneer Films.
