"Do you believe you can cure him?" Saban Films has revealed an official trailer for an indie thriller titled In the Fire, the latest creation from American filmmaker Conor Allyn (after No Man's Land a few years ago). This Italian co-production was filmed partly in Italy, with a release now set for October in the US. A doctor from New York travels to a remote plantation in the 1890s to care for a disturbed boy who seems to have inexplicable abilities (or some kind of special powers). She begins treating the child, but in doing so ignites a war of science versus religion with the local priest who believes the boy is possessed by the Devil and is the reason for all the village's woes. Amber Heard stars as Dr. Grace Burnham, with an international cast including Eduardo Noriega and Lorenzo McGovern Zaini. Do you believe in his power? Or is it some disease? An interesting premise that worries me that it might fuel modern day religious zealots even more...

Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Conor Allyn's In the Fire, direct from Saban's YouTube:

"The film is a meditation on the almost supernatural powers of love told through a strong-willed and independent woman at the turn of the 20th century. I feel honored to be part of this labor of love and to be the lead in Conor Allyn's vision. I feel lucky to be surrounded by such an amazing cast. They're as dedicated and magical as the characters they play." –Amber Heard
