Andrew Garfield ("Hacksaw Ridge") and Daisy Edgar-Jones ("Normal People") are set to star in the upcoming FX on Hulu limited series "Under the Banner of Heaven" created by Academy Award-winner writer Dustin Lance Black ("Milk", "J. Edgar"). The series will be directed by David Mackenzie ("Hell or High Water").
Based on the Jon Krakauer novel of the same name, the series follows a devout detective, whose faith is tested as he investigates a brutal murder that seems to be connected to an esteemed Utah family's spiral into LDS fundamentalism and their distrust in the government.
The miniseres comes ten years after Lance Black and director Ron Howard attempted to turn the book into a feature film at Warner Bros.
Garfield stars as Pyre, an LDS elder who is committed to his Church and family but begins to question some of the Church's teachings through his contact with a suspected murderer. Edgar-Jones will play Brenda, a young faithful Mormon who is the victim of a brutal murder.
Lance Black and Mackenzie will also serve as executive producers alongside Ron Howard, Jason Bateman, Michael Costigan, Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Samie Kim Falvey and Anna Culp.
