‘Three Thousand Years of Longing’ Teaser Trailer – George Miller is Back With More Madness!
From the mad genius of George Miller (Mad Max: Fury Road), Three Thousand Years of Longing is up next, and MGM has shared a short teaser trailer that’s sure to get you pumped.
The film has been described as an “epic fantasy romance,” and it’s premiering in Cannes. Watch the teaser below. The official trailer, MGM notes, will make its way online this Friday.
This first teaser doesn’t give us much to go on but it’s loaded with attention-grabbing imagery, so much of it in fact that we recommend you freeze-frame your way through the video!
Three Thousand Years of Longing opens in theaters on August 31, 2022.
In the film, “A lonely scholar, on a trip to Istanbul, discovers a Djinn who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. What she wants is love, but can and should he grant it to her?”
Here’s a longer plot synopsis MGM just sent out for Three Thousand Years of Longing, which is based on the short story “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye” by A.S. Byatt…
“Dr Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is an academic – content with life and a creature of reason. While in Istanbul attending a conference, she happens to encounter a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom.
“This presents two problems. First, she doubts that he is real and second, because she is a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. The Djinn pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.”
Idris Elba stars alongside Tilda Swinton, Kaan Guldur, Alyla Browne, and Angie Tricker.
George Miller wrote and directed Three Thousand Years of Longing. Up next Miller will be directing Anya Taylor-Joy in Furiosa, the prequel to his masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road.
Following in the wake of Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse getting their own horror movies, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is the next to get the twisted treatment.
Originally published in 1837, the original tale of The Little Mermaid is now in the public domain, and MSR Media International presents their own horror version of the tale this year.
The Little Mermaid is being distributed by Grindstone Entertainment Group, and the film has officially been rated “R” this week for “Language, some violence and brief nudity.”
In the film from director Leigh Scott, “Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society. While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances.
“When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site. Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”
Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff and Jeff Denton star in The Little Mermaid.
You can watch the trailer now over on MSR Media International’s website.
