Ezra Miller to Star in 'The Mourner,' Based on a Japanese Novel

Ezra Miller is attached to star in the upcoming movie The Mourner.

The film is based on the Japanese novel by Arata Tendo. The story “follows a jaded and embittered homicide detective on the trail of murderous sex traffickers, who discovers new spiritual meaning in her life when she comes across a mystical young man (Miller) whose calling in life is to mourn the dead who have no one else to mourn them,” according to Deadline.

A Japanese-language film adaptation was released back in 2015. Production on the English-language adaptation will begin this summer.
