HBO has released the first Nightingale image today from director Elliott Lester’s fascinating upcoming drama film. The entire movie features only one character, played by David Oyelowo, as it “probes the darkest corners of a disturbed mind.” The Selma actor plays a war veteran who begins to unravel in this story of solitude and isolation, which was executive produced by Brad Pitt through his Plan B entertainment banner, and who had this to say:

“We are thrilled and honored to help bring Nightingale to an audience. Sincere props to our friends at HBO for giving this extraordinary and courageous film its day.”

The project marks the first screenplay for writer Frederick Mensch, and HBO Films has slated a May 29th premiere date exclusively on HBO for the drama. As a huge fan of Oyelowo’s, I’m incredibly curious to see him literally carry an entire movie on his shoulders.
