Ahead of its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday night – it is the festival’s closing film – comes the teaser trailer for Radioactive starring Rosamund Pike.
The film is directed Marjane Satrapi and stars Rosamund Pike and Aneurin Barnard. Producer Paul Webster, writer Jack Thorne and author of ‘RADIOACTIVE: Marie & Pierre Curie, A Tale of Love and Fallout’ Lauren Redniss are expected to attend the festival on Saturday.
From the 1870s to the modern era, Radioactive is a journey through Marie Curie’s (Rosamund Pike) enduring legacies – her passionate relationships, scientific breakthroughs, and the consequences that followed for her and for the world. After meeting fellow scientist Pierre Curie (Sam Riley), the pair go on to marry and change the face of science forever by their discovery of radioactivity. The genius of the Curies’ world-changing discoveries and the ensuing Nobel Prize propels the devoted couple into the international limelight.
The film is said to be a bold, visionary depiction of the transformative effects and ensuing fallout of the Curie’s work and how this shaped the defining moments of the 20th Century. I can’t wait to see it.
Check out the trailer below.
