Anthony Hopkins Plays a Psychic FBI Agent in ‘Solace’

Lionsgate

A film with Negan AND Hannibal Lecter!? Well, sorta. Except this time Hannibal is a psychic FBI agent! Okay. I lied about most of that. Here is the real scoop – it was originally meant to be a sequel to SEVEN. Whoa!

SOLACE features FBI Special Agent Joe Merriwether (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) who is unable to solve a series of homicides, he decides to enlist the help of his former colleague Dr. John Clancy (Anthony Hopkins), a retired physician with psychic powers. The reclusive Clancy (just like Hannibal), who shuttered his practice and retreated from the world following the death of his daughter and subsequent break-up of his marriage, wants nothing to do with the case. He soon changes his mind after seeing disturbingly violent visions of Joe’s partner, FBI Special Agent Katherine Cowles’s (Abbie Cornish) ultimate demise. When Clancy’s exceptional intuitive powers put him on the trail of a suspect, Charles Ambrose (Colin Farrell), the doctor soon realizes his abilities are no match against the extraordinary powers of this vicious murderer on a mission.

SOLACE is in theaters and On-Demand December 16th.
