“From visionary filmmaker David Lowery comes a fresh and bold spin on a classic tale from the knights of the round table,” A24 explains their new movie The Green Knight.
After yesterday’s poster drop, the official teaser trailer has arrived this morning and, well, it damn sure looks like an A24 movie. And we consider that a good thing ’round these parts.
The Green Knight may not be a horror movie, per se, but this first look definitely suggests a level of dread, violence and darkness that should make it a hit with the horror crowd.
“An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, The Green Knight 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, Joel Edgerton, Barry Keoghan, and Ralph Ineson also star.
The Green Knight will rise on May 29th.
