Filming has got underway on the big screen adaptation of Dark Places, which will star Oscar winner Charlize Theron.

The movie is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Gillian Flynn, and will see Gilles Paquet-Brenner back in the director's chair.

This is the first film for Paquet-Brenner since Sarah's Key and he has also penned the screenplay for the film.

Theron is joined by an all star cast as Chloe Moretz, Nicholas Hoult, Christina Hendricks and Tye Sheridan are all on board.

Filming is underway in Shreveport, Louisiana and the movie is set to hit the big screen next year.

Dark Places tells the story of Libby Day (Theron), a woman who, at the age of 7, survives the massacre of her family and testifies against her brother as the murderer.

Twenty-five years later, a group obsessed with solving notorious crimes confronts her with questions about the horrific event.

Told in a series of flashbacks from the points of view of Libby’s mother, Patty, and her brother, Ben, Libby is forced to revisit that fateful day and begins to question what exactly she saw - or didn’t see - the night of the tragedy.
