“I remember reading that and being like, ‘Wouldn’t you want to take whatever you can get and capitalize on that, if possible?” Harrison told IndieWire during a recent interview.

“Magnolia has been a class act for over 20 years, and I eagerly anticipate and appreciate their distribution of ‘Master Gardener,’” Schrader said in a statement. Written and directed by Schrader, “Master Gardener” stars Joel Edgerton as Narvel Roth, a brilliant horticulturist working at the beautiful Gracewoods Gardens estate.
