A full trailer for Sam Mendes’ Empire Of Light has arrived from Searchlight Pictures. The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival back in September before playing at the BFI London Film Festival a month or so later. It will release in the US from 9th December and then the UK from 13th January.
Olivia Colman, Micheal Ward, Tom Brooke, Tanya Moodie, Hannah Onslow, Crystal Clarke, Toby Jones, and Colin Firth line up among the main cast.
Here’s the official synopsis.
From Academy Award®-winning director and writer Sam Mendes, EMPIRE OF LIGHT is a moving drama about the power of human connection during turbulent times. Set in and around a faded old cinema in an English coastal town in the early 1980s, it follows Hilary (Olivia Colman) a cinema manager struggling with her mental health, and Stephen (Micheal Ward), a new employee who longs to escape this provincial town in which he faces daily adversity. Both Hilary and Stephen find a sense of belonging through their unlikely and tender relationship and come to experience the healing power of music, cinema, and community.
Very much looking forward to seeing this one.
Here’s the new trailer.
