A new poster for the upcoming thriller High-Rise shows the front and hood of a rather nice looking vehicle that has been waxed to utter perfection! You can see clouds, the sky, a skyscraper and even a person fallin…oh. Well, that’s going to leave a mark. I’m sure whomever is tasked with cleaning up THAT mess is not going to be thrilled.
High-Rise is an adaptation of the 1975 J.G. Ballard novel of the same name. It stars Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers, Crimson Peak), Jeremy Irons (Batman v Superman), Sienna Miller (American Sniper), Luke Evans (Dracula Untold) and Elisabeth Moss (“Mad Men”) and is directed by Ben Wheatley.
Our own Kalyn Corrigan found some flaws in the film. You can read her review to understand where she’s coming from.
From the director of Kill List, Sightseers and A Field in England, “1975. Two miles west of London, Dr. Laing moves into his new apartment seeking soulless anonymity, only to find that the building’s residents have no intention of leaving him alone. Resigned to the complex social dynamics unfolding around him, Laing bites the bullet and becomes neighbourly. As he struggles to establish his position, Laing’s good manners and sanity disintegrate along with the building. The lights go out and the elevators fail but the party goes on. People are the problem. Booze is the currency. Sex is the panacea.”
While we wait for a U.S. date, it opens in the UK on March 16th.
