Yesterday, A24 unveiled released a character-centric poster featuring Dev Patel's Sir Gawain from their upcoming film, The Green Knight, and now we have a look at a brand new trailer for the medieval epic.
Directed by David Lowery, the film's official synopsis reads "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." The film also stars Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sarita Choudhury, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Barry Keoghan, and Ralph Ineson.
The Gren Knight, which is based on the poem of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight', was scheduled to have its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 16, 2020, followed by a theatrical release on May 29, 2020. Those plans were scrapped when the festival was canceled and the film was pulled from the schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film will now hit screens on July 30, 2021.
