New Clip and Posters For The Awesome-Looking Medieval Fantasy Film THE GREEN KNIGHT
There’s a lot of excitement for director David Lowery’s upcoming medieval fantasy film The Green Knight. Everyone I’ve talked to about this film is excited to see it, and rightly so! The movie looks freakin’ incredible! This is one of my most anticipated films of the year and I have no doubt that it’s going to deliver something that audiences are going to love. The film has been screened for critics that the reactions have been extremely positive.
To help keep the hype up, A24 has released a new clip from The Green Knight, as well as a few new character posters. They all put the focus on Dev Patel’s character, Sir Gawain, “King Arthur’s reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic green-skinned stranger.”
The posters are interesting because they feature some interesting marketing involving Sir Gawain. Each has a tag line and those read, “Round Table’s Hottest Bachelor”, “Hot Summer Knights”, and “You Can Call Him Sir.” Are they trying to market this film to teen girls?
Here’s the official synopsis:
An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, THE GREEN KNIGHT tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur’s reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men. Gawain contends with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers in what becomes a deeper journey to define his character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and kingdom by facing the ultimate challenger. From visionary filmmaker David Lowery comes a fresh and bold spin on a classic tale from the knights of the round table.
In addition to Patel, The Green Knight features Joel Edgerton, Barry Keoghan, Ralph Ineson, Alicia Vikander, and Sean Harris. Lowery is the director behind Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, Pete’s Dragon, A Ghost Story, and The Old Man & The Gun.
The movie will be released this summer on July 30th, 2021.
