Neon has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to the Latin American survival thriller “Monos,” which is screening in the World Cinema Dramatic section at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
“Monos” stars Julianne Nicholson as an American hostage held by a group of young soldiers and rebels in training on a remote mountain in Latin America. After an ambush, the group is driven into the jungle, where the dynamic quickly crumbles as they struggle to survive.
Moisรฉs Arias, Sofia Buenaventura, Deiby Rueda, Karen Quintero and Laura Castrillรณn also star. Alejandro Landes directed the feature from a script he co-wrote with Alexis Dos Santos.
