Teaser Trailer for Lena Dunham's Medieval Coming of Age Film CATHERINE, CALLED BIRDY

A first-look photo has been released from the medieval coming-of-age film, Catherine, Called Birdy. The movie was directed and adapted to script by Lena Dunham (Girls), and is based on the children’s book by Karen Cushman.

Bella Ramsey, best known for playing the fierce Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones, stars as the title character alongside a cast that includes Billie Piper and Andrew Scott.

Here’s the official logline:

“The year? 1290. In the Medieval English village of Stonebridge, Lady Catherine (known as Birdy) is the youngest child of Lord Rollo and the Lady Aislinn. Her playground is Stonebridge Manor, a house that, like the family, has seen better days. Financially destitute and utterly greedy, Rollo sees his daughter as his path out of financial ruin by marrying her off to a wealthy man for money and land. But Birdy, like all the great teen heroines, is spirited, clever, and adventurous and ready to put off any suitor that comes calling in increasingly ingenious ways. Her imagination, defiance, and deep belief in her own right to independence put her on a collision course with her parents. When the vilest suitor of all arrives, they are presented with the ultimate test of love for their daughter.”

The movie is scheduled to open on September 23rd in select cinemas, and October 7th on Amazon Prime Video. Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think.
