Hola Dannie aqui,
Yesterday the Fox Searchlight folks released the second trailer for "THE FAVOURITE" the newest film from director Yorgos Lanthinmos. Lanthimos is the Greek cinematic mastermind behind "The Lobster," "Dogtooth," "Alps," and "The Killing of a Sacred Deer." "THE FAVOURITE" just recently made its cinematic debut at the Venice and Telluride Film Festivals and garnered copious critical praise.
Fox Searchlight describes the film as-
"Early 18th century. England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne’s ill health and a mercurial temper. When a new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at a return to her aristocratic roots. As the politics of war become quite time consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen’s companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to fulfill her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbit stand in her way."
Here is the hilarious Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) in "THE FAVOURITE"-
Alongside Olivia Colman ("The Lobster" and "Hot Fuzz") the film stars Rachel Weisz ("The Lobster" and "The Constant Gardener"), Emma Stone ("La La Land," and "Birdman"), Nicholas Hoult ("Mad Max: Fury Road" and "About A Boy"), Joe Alwyn ("Mary Queen of Scots"), Mark Gatiss ("The League of Gentlemen," "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy," and "Sherlock"), Jenny Rainsford ("Prometheus"), and James Smith ("In The Loop," and "The Iron Lady").
"The Favourite" is planned to have American theatergoers laughing on November 23rd. How many of you are as stoked for this comedy as I am?
Stay Strong, Live Good, Love Movies!
