First Independent Pictures will release Stuart Gordon’s Edmond in limited theaters on July 14th, according to FilmJerk. The film, which is based on a play, will open at the Quad Cinemas in New York City and additional theatres in select markets thereafter. First produced in 1982 at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago and adapted for the screen by Mamet, “Edmond” centers on Edmond Burke (Macy), a successful businessman who walks out on his family on the advice of a fortune teller and plunges into the vortex of New York’s hellish underworld, where he is mugged and robbed before he kills a pimp and a would-be actress, finally ending up in prison. The film stars William H. Macy, Julia Stiles, Denise Richards, Mena Suvari, Dylan Walsh, Joe Mantegna and Rebecca Pidgeon.
