Sofia Coppola’s Star-Studded Thriller ‘The Beguiled’ Gets a Teaser Trailer
Released in 1971, the same year as Dirty Harry, the Clint Eastwood-starring The Beguiled initially wasn’t all that well-received here in the States. The film saw Eastwood playing against type, and Universal just wasn’t sure how to market it to his fans; Eastwood himself has noted that he was “emasculated” in the film. But over the years, it has found its appreciative audience.
Now, 46 years later, a new take on the source material is on the way.
Written and directed by Sofia Coppola, The Beguiled is headed our way this summer, and it boasts an incredible cast that includes Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, and Elle Fanning. Ahead of the release, we’ve got the official teaser, which promises a seductive thriller.
Check it out below.
Adapted by Sofia Coppola from Thomas Cullinan’s novel of the same name, The Beguiled unfolds in a girls’ school in the state of Virginia in 1864. As the Civil War rages, The Miss Martha Farnsworth Seminary for Young Ladies has been sheltered from the outside world— until the day a wounded Union soldier is discovered nearby and taken in.
Focus Features will release The Beguiled in select cities on June 23, 2017, expanding to more theaters on June 30, 2017.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
