Focus Options was out at CinemaCon in full power, with an unique preview of a few of their upcoming titles. Probably the most-hyped film they confirmed footage from is certainly Robert Eggers’ The Northman. A Viking epic primarily based on the Scandanavian legend that impressed Hamlet, Alexander Skarsgård performs our Viking prince hero. His father, performed by Ethan Hawke, is murdered by Claes Bang’s usurper to the throne, resulting in exile for our prince and estrangement from his queen mom, performed by Nicole Kidman. So he goes for bloody (and I imply bloody) revenge. Anya Taylor-Pleasure is his love curiosity.
This actually appears like a terrific film. Eggers adopts a distinct type for this from his different movies. It’s in large, daring colour (versus the black & white of The Lighthouse), and nothing in any respect about this film is muted. Because of this, it concurrently appears like his craziest and most accessible film. Sadly, the footage we noticed was not ultimate, however they might launch the mock-up trailer we noticed in theatres tomorrow, and it could blow audiences away. It comes out in 2022.
We additionally bought the second trailer for Last Night in Soho, which reveals extra of the plot. Nonetheless, the massive reveal could possibly be thought-about a SPOILER, so maintain studying if you wish to know extra after the break.
Anya Taylor-Pleasure’s character is killed in 1960’s London by her lover, a London robust man performed by Matt Smith. Within the current, Thomasin McKenzie tries to deliver the older model of Smith, performed by the legendary Terrence Stamp, to justice, however nothing is because it appears. This appears like a blast, and I’m excited to see it next month at TIFF.
Talking of TIFF, we additionally bought a take a look at Kenneth Branagh’s sixties drama, Belfast, starring Judi Dench, Caitriona Balfe, Jamie Dornan and Ciarán Hinds, and is outwardly semi-autobiographical. It’s shot in black and white and appears like a candy household drama. Lastly, we additionally bought a tiny style of a film I’m notably enthusiastic about – Downton Abbey 2: A New Period. Not a lot is revealed apart from the truth that your whole favorites, together with Maggie Smith, are again. Sadly, that one solely comes out subsequent March.
So there you could have it – one other nice panel from CinemaCon. Try all of our protection here!
