One year hence… A24’s epic fantasy-horror flick The Green Knight is finally coming to theatres this summer, and the official trailer promises a dark and mysterious take on Arthurian legend.
Written and directed by David Lowery (A Ghost Story), the film tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur’s reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men. Gawain contends with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers in what becomes a deeper journey to define his character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and kingdom by facing the ultimate challenger.
Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina), Joel Edgerton (The Gift), Ralph Ineson (The Witch), Sarita Choudhury (Lady in the Water), Sean Harris (Deliver Us from Evil), and Barry Keoghan (The Killing of a Sacred Deer) star alongside Patel in The Green Knight, which releases in the US on July 30th before coming to the UK and Ireland on August 6th.
