Karen Gillan Directed and Starred in a Film Called THE PARTY'S JUST BEGINNING and Here's The Trailer
Karen Gillan is best know for her roles in Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Who, and Jungle Book, but the actress has also just directed her first movie! It’s called The Party’s Just Beginning and the trailer for the movie has been released.
The movie is described as a “surreal coming of age story told from the perspective of a young Scottish woman (Karen Gillan) trying to cope with the suicide of her best friend and struggling to confront what's truly haunting her.” As a coping mechanism to deal with her life issues, she resorts to having sex and drinking alcohol.
I’ve been a fan of Gillan since her days on Doctor Who and it’s been great to see her film career thrive. Now, she’s getting behind the camera to tell stories and it will be interesting to see where this directing career path leads her.
This film project takes Gillan on a darker path than what we’ve previously seen her in, but it looks like a solid film that tells a story that she’s obviously passionate about.
The movie also stars Lee Pace (Guardians of the Galaxy), Paul Higgins (Apostle), Matthew Beard (Johnny English Strikes Again), Siobhan Redmond (Alice Through the Looking Glass) and Jamie Quinn (Two Doors Down).
The film is set to get a limited theatrical release on December 7th followed by a video on demand release on December 11th.
