A24 will be giving the ghost story The Eternal Daughter a domestic theatrical release on December 2nd, and with that date just one month away they have unveiled the film’s trailer. You can check it out in the embed above.
Written and directed by Joanna Hogg (Unrelated), The Eternal Daughter was executive produced by Martin Scorsese and sees Tilda Swinton playing the dual role of an artist and her elderly mother who confront long-buried secrets when they return to a former family home, now a hotel haunted by its mysterious past.
Swinton and Hogg previously worked together on the 2019 film The Souvenir, its 2021 follow-up The Souvenir: Part II, and the 1986 short film Caprice. They made The Eternal Daughter in secret in Wales during the pandemic lockdown. Swinton is joined in the cast of this one by Joseph Mydell (Tonight You’re Mine), Carly-Sophia Davies (Midsomer Murders), and newcomers Zinnia Davies-Cooke, August Joshi, and Alfie Sankey-Green. Plus Louis the Dog.
Hogg’s other directorial credits include Exhibition, Archipelago, and EastEnders: Dot’s Story. Up to this point, everything she has made has been drama, and Deadline‘s Damon Wise said The Eternal Daughter is a “fascinating foray into genre cinema” for the director. Wise went on to say that “The Eternal Daughter will hit a very strange but significant nerve as a film about that time in our lives when the things that we take for granted are suddenly snatched away.“

I can’t say I’m familiar with anything Hogg has made before, but the idea of Swinton playing two roles in a ghost story is enough to get me interested in seeing The Eternal Daughter.
