Back in November, Focus Features released three odd teaser posters for their upcoming psychological thriller Inside, posters that showed things like canned food, moldy fruit, and a pigeon instead of the film’s star Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man: No Way Home). Now the company has unveiled a new poster for Inside, and this one actually has Dafoe on it! You can check it out at the bottom of this article.
Focus Features will be giving Inside a theatrical release in the U.S. and Canada on March 10, 2023.
Directed by Vasilis Katsoupis, who previously made the 2016 documentary My Friend Larry Gus (about an engineering student who ditches his studies to record a music album), from a screenplay by Ben Hopkins (The Nine Lives of Tomas Katz), Inside tells the story of Nemo, an art thief trapped in a New York penthouse after his heist doesn’t go as planned. Locked inside with nothing but priceless works of art, he must use all his cunning and invention to survive.
Gene Bervoets (The Vanishing), Josia Krug (Commitment Phobia), and Eliza Stuyck (Vincent) are also in the cast.
Giorgos Karnavas, Marcos Kantis, and Dries Phlypo produced Inside, with Katsoupis serving as executive producer alongside Jim Stark, Konstantinos Kontovrakis, Charles E. Breitkreuz, Martin Lehwald, Jean-Claude, Van Rijckeghem, and Stephen Kelliher.
Universal International is handling the distribution of Inside outside of the U.S. and Canada. Focus Features’ Kiska Higgs has described the movie as “thought-provoking” film”, saying it “explores an experience we’re all now familiar with – isolation – and explores it in a visually stunning way.”
Are you looking forward to Inside? Will you be watching the movie in March? Share your thoughts on this one by leaving a comment below. I’m very interested in seeing how this movie has turned out. The trailer, embedded at the top of this article, makes it look like it’s going to make for quite an intense viewing experience. The fact that it’s all about Willem Dafoe being trapped in one location by himself is enough to make it worth at least one viewing.
Here’s the new poster with Willem Dafoe on it:
