Bleecker Street Films and LD Entertainment have acquired the U.S. rights to Anton Corbijn’s latest film, “A Talent For Murder,” which stars Oscar-, Emmy- and Tony winner Helen Mirren as celebrated novelist Patricia Highsmith (“The Talented Mr. Ripley”).

In the twisty thriller, Alden Ehrenreich (“Weapons,” “Oppenheimer” and a newly minted Tony winner for “Becky Shaw”) plays a callow young literary agent from New York who is sent to Switzerland to persuade Highsmith to write one final installment of the Ripley anthology. “House of the Dragon” star Olivia Cooke rounds out the lead trio.
