Chiwetel Ejiofor, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts co-star in the Billy Ray-directed thriller, which is set for an awards-friendly October release. The official synopsis reads: “A tight-knit team of rising FBI investigators – Ray (Ejiofor) and Jess (Roberts), along with their District Attorney supervisor Claire (Kidman) – is suddenly torn apart when they discover that Jess’s teenage daughter has been brutally and inexplicably murdered.”

Remakes are always a risky proposition, but the talent that’s been assembled for “Secret In Their Eyes” is substantial enough to give us hope. And the film’s newly-released trailer (above) is rich with the levels of tension and emotion that made the original so powerful.
