Afterwards (French: Et après) is a 2009 English-language psychological thriller film directed by Gilles Bourdos and starring Romain Duris, John Malkovich and Evangeline Lilly. Based on Guillaume Musso's novel Et après..., the story tells of a workaholic lawyer who is told by a self-proclaimed visionary that he must try to prevent his imminent death. The film was shot in New York City, Montreal and various New Mexico locations over June–July 2007, and had a French release in January 2009.

Plot

Nathan Del Amico (Duris) is a career-driven New York lawyer who has neglected his wife (Lilly) and daughter as a result of his professional success and increasing obsession with his work. He meets Joseph Kay (Malkovich), a doctor who claims that he can foresee other people's deaths, and that he is a "messenger" sent to help Nathan put his life in order before he dies.[1]

Cast

Production

Gilles Bourdos and Michel Spinosa wrote Afterwards as a film adaptation of Guillaume Musso's French novel Et après....[1] The film, a C$10 million co-production between Canada's Christal Films Productions and France's Fidélité Films, was filmed over six weeks in New York, Quebec and New Mexico.[3] Filming in Manhattan commenced on June 4, 2007.[2] Production moved to New Mexico from June 15–19, where scenes were shot at various locations in Albuquerque, Alamogordo, Jemez Springs and Tularosa.[6] Filming resumed in Montreal on July 7 and lasted for approximately 25 days;[2] the city was chosen as a filming location for its tax deduction incentives and the ease in making "Montreal look like anywhere in the world".[3] Though writer/director Bourdos is French, as is Musso's adapted novel and co-financier Christal Films Productions, Afterwards was shot almost entirely in English.[3]

Release

The film had its world premiere on September 7, 2008 at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival, looking for a U.S. distribution buyer.[1] It was theatrically released by Mars Distribution on January 14, 2009 in France and Belgium,[7] earning US$159,500 from 250 screens on its opening weekend in France.[8] It went on to gross $1.1 million in its first week and ranked fifth in the Paris area.[9]

Seville Pictures has bought the rights to the film's Canadian distribution from Christal Films,[10] which also produced the film and provided 30% of finances.[3]
