Writer/director David Lowery’s fantasy adventure film The Green Knight recently received a theatrical release courtesy of A24, but if you can’t make it out to see it on the big screen or don’t feel comfortable going to the theatre at this time, A24 is now presenting an alternative. But it’s for a very limited time. For one night only, August 18th, the distributor will be streaming the film on their Screening Room website for viewers in the United States. Tickets are available for purchase at THIS LINK.
The purchase of a $20 ticket will allow you to stream The Green Knight during a four hour window. You’ll be able to watch the film through a web browser, or through the Apple TV and Roku apps.
Described as “an epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend”, The Green Knight stars Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Barry Keoghan, Ralph Ineson, Sean Harris, Katie Dickie, Sarita Choudhury, and Erin Kellyman. The story centers on
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.
Lowery produced The Green Knight with Toby Halbrooks, Tim Headington, James M. Johnston, and Theresa Steele Page. Jason Cloth, Tomas Deckaj, Aaron L. Gilbert, Macdara Kelleher, and Ashley Levinson served as executive producers. Jeanie Igoe co-produced, and Edmund Sampson was the line producer.
I haven’t seen the movie yet myself and I’m not currently in the United States, so I’m missing out on this event. JoBlo’s own Matt Rooney gave The Green Knight a 10/10 review; CLICK HERE to read it.
