Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.Kevin Spacey is starring in a new British thriller called The Awakening, and its U.S. digital and cable release date has just been announced. The controversial and scandal-ridden actor was fired from House of Cards amid sexual misconduct accusations and has faced multiple charges of sexual assault in the years since then, though he was later found to be not guilty by a jury in the UK. He eventually started acting again in movies like The Man Who Drew God and Peter Five Eight, and the series Minimarket. Now Spacey has a new project lined up for this year. His conspiracy thriller The Awakening will receive a U.S. digital and cable release on November 24, according to Variety. The film just had its world premiere in Italy at the Matera Film Festival and will be released in the UK and other international territories at some point after its U.S. debut, though details have not been announced yet. The Awakening stars Justin Tinto as Jason Reynolds, a former Army officer who investigates a mysterious group called The Order after the disappearance of his parents. With the help of Alice Eve's Rebecca Reynolds, Jason discovers how vast the conspiracy is and how far-reaching The Order's power is around the world. While on this journey, Jason and Rebecca attempt to reveal the truth before they're caught by the organization's enforcers. Eddie "The Beast" Hall, Matt Hookings, Daniel O'Reilly, Peter Stormare, Steven Berkoff and Julian Glover also appear in the film. Tinto is not just the star of The Awakening. He's also been spearheading this project behind-the-scenes as a financial investor and co-wrote the script with Matt Routledge and Matt Hookings. Routledge served as the director, with Hookings and Tim Kent on board as producers. In a statement, Tinto explained that The Awakening "challenges what we accept as truth, who we trust and how easily the world around us can be manipulated." His hope was to make a movie that "entertains people but also makes them think." Routledge added that the reason The Awakening works as a conspiracy thriller is that the cast "made that world real" and will have audiences believing that what they're seeing on their screens "is one step away from their own."
