Get ready for another powerful performance from Sandra Bullock this fall in "The Unforgivable."
This gritty and emotional drama is an adaptation of the hit 2009 British television miniseries
that was written by Sally Wainwright.
Alongside Bullock, the film features a ton of A-list talent both in front of and behind
the scenes.
Here's a look at what you need to know about "The Unforgivable" before it hits theaters
on November 24 and then arrives on Netflix on December 10.
Sandra Bullock is, of course, one of Hollywood's most revered talents, with the gift of being
both hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure.
The actress won an Oscar in 2010 for her uplifting work in the sports bio-pic "The Blind Side"
and was nominated for her gutting performance in the lead of the 2013 space drama "Gravity."
In both films, Bullock was a dramatic force and impressed critics and audiences alike.
Bullock has been a household name for decades, thanks to her breakthrough roles in unforgettable
'90s action films like "Speed" and "Demolition Man."
"Your tone is quasi-facetious but you do not realize that Taco Bell was the only restaurant
to survive the franchise wars."
"So…"
"So now all restaurants are Taco Bell."
She also became the name in romantic dramas of the era, thanks to her starring roles in
films like "Hope Floats," "Love Potion No. 9," and "Forces of Nature".
And she officially became America's sweetheart thanks to her lovable leading roles in films
like "Two Weeks Notice" and "Miss Congeniality."
"Solar plexus, instep, nose, groin.
Sing."
More recently, she took the world by storm with her eye-opening work in the 2018 thriller
"Bird Box."
Put simply, Bullock is a top-tier actress in any genre, and her breathtaking performance
in "The Unforgivable" proves it yet again.
Bullock has also been a producer on many of her most notable films, a role she again stepped
into with "The Unforgivable."
Bullock is joined in "The Unforgivable" by actor Vincent D'Onofrio, who portrays John
Ingram in the film.
D'Onofrio is a prolific film and television star who burst onto the scene in the late
'80s war drama "Full Metal Jacket" and quickly became known for his ability to absolutely
disappear into a role.
"Uhhh, a man came in here earlier.
A dead man."
You've seen him in films like "Men in Black, "The Cell," "The Magnificent Seven" and "Jurassic
World," along with his television roles in series like "Law & Order: Criminal Intent,"
and "Daredevil."
And starring as Blake is Jon Bernthal, who's one of the most in-demand actors of the modern era.
After stunning audiences with his breakthrough role as Shane Walsh in "The Walking Dead,"
Bernthal became a big-screen sensation, with standout roles in films like "The Wolf of
Wall Street," "The Accountant," and "Baby Driver."
Bernthal also continued to command the small screen in shows like "Mob City" and "The Punisher."
The Unforgivable also sees him reuniting with D'Onofrio after their riveting onscreen clash in "Daredevil."
Viola Davis portrays the character Liz Ingram.
Davis is one of the most celebrated working actresses today, having earned an Oscar for
her work in the 2016 film "Fences," along with nominations for her roles in "Doubt,"
"The Help," and "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom."
"You better tell this man who I am, get him straight.
Tell him who he messing with."
Davis also won a Primetime Emmy for her starring role in ABC's "How to Get Away With Murder."
Rounding out The Unforgivable's cast is "Daredevil" and "Stranger Things" actor Rob Morgan -- who can also be seen opposite Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence
upcoming comedy drama "Don't Look Up" -- along with Richard Thomas, Linda Emond and Will Pullen.
Even with so much talent in front of the screen, "The Unforgivable" has just as much behind
the lens as well.
The film is directed by Nora Fingscheidt, the German auteur behind the powerful 2020
drama "System Crasher."
Another legend behind the scenes is Academy Award-winning producer Graham King,
who's produced some of the most powerful films in recent history, including the 2006 Best Picture winner "The Departed."
The script for "The Unforgivable" was co-written by some of the most intriguing screenwriting
talents as well.
First up, there's Peter Craig, who may be known for his work on blockbuster scripts
like "The Town," "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay," and "Bad Boys for Life."
There's also Hillary Seitz, who co-wrote movies like Christopher Nolan's detective thriller
"Insomnia" and the action-packed "Eagle Eye" and has been tapped to adapt the best-selling
thriller novel "The Woman in Cabin 10."
Plus, there's Courtenay Miles, who previously wrote several of the riveting scripts for
the second season of "Mindhunter."
So, not only is "The Unforgivable" stacked with on-screen talent, but the film boasts
some major muscle behind the scenes, and fans won't want to miss this gripping drama when
it hits theaters and Netflix this fall.
