TULIP FEVER Trailer: Alicia Vikander and Dane DeHaan Fall in Forbidden Love

I'd never heard of Tulip Fever until about five minutes ago, but the new movie looks a lot better than your typical forbidden romance period piece. First off, it has a terrific cast including new Tomb Raider Alicia Vikander, Dane DeHaan, Christoph Waltz, Dame Judi Dench, Jack O'Connell, and...Zach Galifianakis? He seems a little out of place among those actors, but OK, sure. And Cara Delevingne shows up, too (she also stars with DeHaan in the sci-fi film Valerian). And secondly, this seems to have aspects of a thriller to it, almost like a murder mystery with what looks to be a fake death involved. Definitely more intense than just two people longing for each other from across a class barrier.

Tulip Fever hits theaters on July 15th.

SYNOPSIS Set in 17th century Amsterdam, TULIP FEVER follows a married woman (Alicia Vikander) who begins a passionate affair with an artist (Dane DeHaan) hired to paint her portrait. The lovers gamble on the booming market for tulip bulbs as a way to raise money to run away together.
