Vertical Entertainment and Roadside Attractions Acquire the US Rights to Keke Palmer’s Alice

Vertical Entertainment and Roadside Attractions have acquired the  U.S. rights to the dramatic thriller Alice. Starring Keke Palmer, the announcement comes after it was announced that the film would make its debut at the Sundance Film Festival this January.

Inspired by true accounts, the film stars Keke Palmer as Alice, an enslaved person yearning for freedom on a rural Georgia plantation under its brutal and disturbed owner Paul (Jonny Lee Miller). After a violent clash with Paul, she flees through the neighboring woods and stumbles onto the unfamiliar sight of a highway, soon discovering the year is actually 1973. Rescued on the roadside by a disillusioned political activist named Frank (Common), Alice quickly comprehends the lies that have kept her in bondage and the promise of Black liberation.

.Alice will be released theatrically on March 18, 2022.
