Johnny Flynn’s career has taken him from Regency England (“Emma,” “Vanity Fair”) to WWII (“Operation Mincemeat”) to contempo Glasgow (“Lovesick”) to mid-century Italy (“Ripley”) to 1971 David Bowie (“Stardust”), and now the versatile actor-singer-songwriter travels to post Civil War America in “A Prayer for the Dying.” Adapted from the novel by Stewart O’Nan and directed by Dara Van Dusen, the drama unfolds in 1870 Wisconsin, in a small town of Scandinavian settlers who face a chillingly timely threat of a pandemic and wildfires. Flynn plays Jacob Hansen, the local sheriff and town leader, and John C. Reilly co-stars as the town’s doctor. Anton and New Europe Films are handling worldwide rights, and Anton will be debuting a new sales promo at EFM.
