Magnolia Pictures has picked up the North American rights to Grand Piano, a high-concept thriller from Spanish filmmaker Eugenio Mira (Agnosia) and screenwriter Damien Chazelle (The Last Exorcism Part II). Elijah Wood toplines the film as a disgraced concert pianist making a comeback after a five-year hiatus.

As if that weren’t pressure enough, a madman lies hidden in the concert hall with a sniper riffle aimed at his wife. If he screws up, she will be shot dead.

Grand Piano co-stars John Cusack as the killer, British stunner Tamsin Egerton (“Camelot”), Alex Winter (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure) and Argo and Red State starlet Kerry Bishé (pictured above) as the wife. Magnolia will release the film in 2014 through its Magnet Releasing label.
