“Silence” Theatrical Poster
Martin Scorsese’s long-awaited Silence – starring Andrew Garfield (Hacksaw Ridge), Liam Neeson (Taken) and Adam Driver (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) – opens in theaters on December 23rd.
Silence tells the story of two Christian missionaries (Garfield and Driver) who face the ultimate test of faith when they travel to Japan in search of their missing mentor (Neeson) – at a time when Christianity was outlawed and their presence forbidden.
The film is based on Shusaku Endo’s 1966 acclaimed novel with a script written by Jay Cocks (Gangs of New York).
It should be noted that Silence also features a star-studded Japanese cast that includes Tadanobu Asano (Last Life in the Universe), Nana Komatsu (The World of Kanako), Shin’ya Tsukamoto (Tetsuo: The Bullet Man), Michié (R100) and Ryo Kase (Outrage).
