The Beguiled will be in theaters June 23, 2017
Focus Features will release THE BEGUILED in select cities on June 23, 2017, expanding to more theaters on June 30, 2017! Acclaimed writer/director Sofia Coppola brings you a seductive thriller starring Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, and Elle Fanning. While I’m watching the preview over and over again, I can’t wait to see what happens in this movie. I think it will keep us all on the edge of our seats in a great way and with the star studded cast, it is sure to be a hit in theaters. Ms. Coppola’s screenplay is an adaptation of Thomas Cullinan’s novel of the same name.
Story
The Beguiled unfolds in a girls’ school in the state of Virginia in 1864. As the Civil War rages, The Miss Martha Farnsworth Seminary for Young Ladies has been sheltered from the outside world— until the day a wounded Union soldier is discovered nearby and taken in.
Casting
Golden Globe Award winner Colin Farrell (Focus’ In Bruges), Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman (The Hours), Emmy Award nominee Kirsten Dunst (making her fourth movie with Ms. Coppola), and Critics’ Choice Award nominee Elle Fanning (Neon Demon) lead the cast of The Beguiled.
Oona Laurence and Emma Howard (Transparent) have joined the cast with Angourie Rice (The Nice Guys) and Addison Riecke.
Crew
Anne Rossis production designer on The Beguiled, marking her fifth collaboration with Ms. Coppola. The film’s costume designer is Stacey Battat, marking her fourth collaboration with Ms. Coppola. The director of photography on The Beguiled is Academy Award nominee Philippe Le Sourd (The Grandmaster), and the movie is being shot on 35mm film.
Focus chairman Peter Kujawski commented, “It is personally and professionally a pleasure to be making a movie with Sofia Coppola again. The twisted turns of the story, combined with Sofia’s empathy for the characters being portrayed by these gifted actors, will keep audiences in suspense. Everyone at Focus is thrilled to be bringing The Beguiled to theaters next summer.”
“The enemy is not what we believe.”
