Netflix has released the first trailer for their upcoming film Brain on Fire. The story for this film revolves around a young woman played by Chloe Grace Moretz who is diagnosed with a mysterious illness that is devastating her body and mind. But, she's determined to find answers.
The movie is based on the true story of writer Susannah Cahalan, who published her experience in a memoir. EW reports:
Cahalan’s book is framed around her own investigation. Her condition caused her to lose her memories, so she had to revisit her own medical files, watch the footage of herself flailing in her hospital bed, and interview the people in her own life.
The movie looks good and it also stars Tyler Perry, Carrie-Ann Moss (Jessica Jones), Thomas Mann (Kong: Skull Island), and Jenny Slate (Obvious Child). Brain on Fire premieres June 22nd on Netflix.

"We're going to get to the bottom of this together." Netflix has released a new official trailer for a film titled Brain on Fire, which premiered at festivals in 2016 and has been awaiting release ever since. We actually posted a trailer for this in early 2017, expecting it to be out last year, but that never happened. Netflix is finally releasing the film this month, if anyone still wants to see it. The film stars Chloë Grace Moretz as a young woman who starts going mad after she begins to experience terrible seizures, and her life falls apart as a result. Based on the true story of Susannah Cahalan, who was lucky to find one doctor who finally gave her a diagnosis. The full cast includes Richard Armitage, Carrie-Anne Moss, Tyler Perry, Thomas Mann, Vincent Gale, Nicole Laplaca, Agam Darshi, and Jenny Slate. This might be worth skipping. Here's the second...

"To put it simply - her brain is on fire." An odd trailer has debuted for the film Brain on Fire, a medical mystery psychological drama from Irish director Gerard Barrett. The film stars Chloë Grace Moretz as a young woman who starts going mad after she begins to experience really terrible seizures, and her life falls apart as a result. Based on the true story of Susannah Cahalan. The full cast includes Richard Armitage, Carrie-Anne Moss, Tyler Perry, Thomas Mann, Vincent Gale, Nicole Laplaca, Navid Negahban, Agam Darshi, with an appearance by Jenny Slate. This is a weird trailer that throws a curveball part of the way through, then gets laughably cheesy at the end. The footage is okay, but the title cards are the worst. Here's the first official trailer for Gerard Barrett's Brain On Fire, direct from YouTube: Susannah Cahalan (Chloë Grace Moretz), a journalist at the New York Post,...

Clouds of Sils Maria star Chloë Grace Moretz premiered her latest project, Brain on Fire, at Toronto International Film Festival last year and ahead of a Netflix release, the first trailer has landed. Directed by Gerard Barrett (Glassland), the film explores the true story of Susannah Cahalan, a journalist in New York City who was inflicted with serious health issues, including seizures and hallucinations (scientifically diagnosed as anti-nmda receptor encephalitis).
As one can see in the trailer, her condition worsens over the course of weeks and she quickly goes from violence to catatonia. It’s not until having numerous misdiagnoses and a hospitalization, when a doctor finally gives her a diagnosis with the hope she can rebuild her life. Also starring Jenny Slate, Thomas Mann, Tyler Perry, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Richard Armitage, check out the trailer below for the Charlize Theron-produced drama.
One morning, 24-year-old Susannah Cahalan woke up in a hospital bed.

Chloe Grace Moretz and her real life counterpart lit up the red carpet at last night's Tiff premiere of Brain on Fire.
Based on the best-selling memoir, Brain on Fire tells Susannah Cahalan's story of her extremely rare and shocking autoimmune disorder. Chloe Grace Moretz effectively portrays Susannah's difficult journey as a twenty-four year old journalist whose life turns upside for down when she starts experiencing bizarre symptoms that cause her to be constantly misdiagnosed. It's a riveting story that we can't wait to see on the big screen.

Perhaps it was inevitable that “Brain On Fire” — writer/director Gerard Barrett’s adaptation of Susannah Cahalan’s memoir of her month being hospitalized with the rare autoimmune disease anti-nmda receptor encephalitis — would lose arguably the most interesting aspect of the book: the fact that, because Cahalan can’t remember anything about her hospitalization, she treats her own life during that month as a journalistic investigation, and, by extension, as an inquiry into her own self.

Next up, a batch of new features we’ve yet to see…and can’t wait to check out in the coming days.

There has been a lot of movement, cast wise, lately on Gerard Barrett’s Glassland follow-up, Brain on Fire, over the last few day, with Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix) and Richard Armitage (The Hobbit) joining Chloe Grace Moretz (Kick Ass), Thomas Mann (the upcoming Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) and Jenny Slate (Obvious Child) for the Irish director’s account of Susannah Cahalan’s month long descent into madness.

There’s another round of changes for indie dramas happening at the moment. We reported on Wednesday that Dakota Fanning was replacing Mia Wasikowska in Brimstone. Which means that director Gerard Barrett needed someone new to star in Brain On Fire. Step forward Chloë Moretz. No, despite the title, it’s not a Scanners-style sci-fi thriller. Brain On Fire has been adapted from Susannah Cahalan’s memoir, which was subtitled My Month Of Madness. The book chronicles Cahalan’s real-life experiences being diagnosed with a mystery illness that left her labelled psychotic, violent, and a dangerous flight risk.
