Back in 2017, BuzzFeed writer Adam Ellis wrote out a ghost story (which he swears is completely true) on Twitter, and that story caught so much attention that there was soon talk of a movie adaptation. The project, titled Dear David, was first set up at New Line Cinema in 2018, then made its way over to Lionsgate. Now Lionsgate is gearing up to give Dear David a theatrical, digital, and VOD release on October 13th – and to promote the release, a clip from the movie has arrived online. You can watch it in the embed above.
Anna and the Apocalypse‘s John McPhail has directed the film from a screenplay by Mike Van Waes. The cast of Dear David is headed up by Augustus Prew (Amazon’s Lord of the Rings series), Justin Long (Tusk), Rene Escobar Jr. (Heartland), Cameron Nicoll (Stolen by Their Father), and Andrea Bang (A Million Little Things...

What a horrific tale!
Sarah Drew's Lizbeth lived a mother's worst nightmare during Stolen By Their Father -- a ripped from the headlines film executive produced by Elizabeth Smart. Lizbeth's heartrending ordeal to get her daughters back was almost unbearable to watch.
And the worst part about it all was knowing that actual events inspired the film.
In some ways, Stolen By Their Father felt like an ambitious movie for the network. We had Sarah Drew playing the titular character, and the film had her jettisoning from the States to Greece.
During a significant portion of the film, the gorgeous Greek backdrop was integral. You couldn't capture the tone, and Liszeth's plight as this woman stuck in a foreign country, desperate, and not getting the proper aid she needed to protect her family without it.
They couldn't have captured the level of intensity, helplessness, and outcast status Lizbeth experienced...
