Summary

"Sleeping Dogs" marks the feature-length directorial debut of Adam Cooper, based on the E.O. Chirovici novel "The Book of Mirrors" (2017). With a cast that includes Russell Crowe, Karen Gillan, Marton Csokas & Tommy Flanagan, it tells the story of a former homicide detective, now grappling with Alzheimer's disease, who is compelled to revisit a cold case concerning the killing of a college professor after receiving a lead from an enigmatic woman. Cooper was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is opening this weekend from the Avenue. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
