Nuovo poster internazionale per l'atteso The Green Knight (2021), il fantasy horror ispirato ai miti arturiani, in particolar modo a "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", il poema cavalleresco risalente al tardo XIV secolo e che narra l’avventura di Galvano, un cavaliere appartenente alla Tavola Rotonda.
Written and directed by David Lowery (A Ghost's Tale), The Green Knight was billed as an epic fantasy adventure based on timeless Arthurian legends and featuring echoes of 1980s cinema.
The film debuted in U.S. theaters on July 30 distributed by A24 and with a ban on minors due to the violence, sexuality and nudity present. No Italian release date has been announced at this time.
The protagonist of the story is Gawain (Dev Patel), the reckless and headstrong grandson of King Arthur as well as a knight of the Round Table. To give a demonstration of his courage and strength to his family and kingdom, the loyal young man will hunt down the Green Knight, a giant warrior with emerald skin. Galvanus will battle ghosts, giants, and thieves in what will become a deep and treacherous journey that will bring him up against a very strong and dangerous foe in the final duel.
In the cast of The Green Knight, in addition to Dev Patel, there are also Alicia Vikander (Tomb Raider - 2018), Joel Edgerton (It Comes at Night), Barry Keoghan (The Sacrifice of the Sacred Deer), Ralph Ineson (The VVitch), Sarita Choudhury (Lady in the Water), Sean Harris (Prometheus) and Kate Dickie (The Witch).
