Trailer for Peter Dinklage and Haley Bennett's CYRANO From Director Joe Wright
MGM has released the first official trailer for the new adaption of the classic novel Cyrano de Bergerac, “the greatest love story ever told.” The movie is titled Cyrano, it comes from director Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, Hanna, Pan, Darkest Hour ), and it stars Peter Dinklage as Cyrano de Bergerac and Haley Bennett as the woman he loves, Roxanne.
I love this story, and there have been several film adaptations made over the years. I’d have to say my favorite adaptation is Steve Martin’s Roxanne. But this new musical adaptation looks solid, and it’s certainly a great project for Dinklage to be a part of. It’s looks like he gives yet another wonderful performance. The synopsis reads:
Award-winning director Joe Wright envelops audiences in a symphony of emotions with music, romance, and beauty in Cyrano, re-imagining the timeless tale of a heartbreaking love triangle. A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac (played by Peter Dinklage) dazzles whether with ferocious wordplay at a verbal joust or with brilliant swordplay in a duel. But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of the love of a devoted friend, the luminous Roxanne (Haley Bennett), Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her — and Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight, with Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr).
The movie also stars Kelvin Harrison Jr., Bashir Salahuddin, and Ben Mendelsohn, and it’s set to be released in theaters on December 31st, 2021.
