Class Warfare Erupts in International High-Rise Trailer
We’ve already seen so many different trailers for Ben Wheatley’s High-Rise that you’d think we’d be sick of the movie by now, but honestly, each new one just makes us that much more excited. Ahead of the film’s New York premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, another one has arrived. Dig it!
Courtesy of Magnolia Pictures, High-Rise will hit On Demand outlets on April 28th, followed by a limited theatrical release on May 13th.
Scripted by Amy Jump, the film stars Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers, Crimson Peak), Jeremy Irons (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), Sienna Miller (American Sniper), Luke Evans (Dracula Untold), and Elizabeth Moss (“Mad Men”). It chronicles the savage breakdown of social order inside a giant residential apartment block.
Synopsis:
High-Rise stars Hiddleston as Dr. Robert Laing, the newest resident of a luxurious apartment in a high-tech concrete skyscraper whose lofty location places him amongst the upper class. Laing quickly settles into high society life and meets the building’s eccentric tenants: Charlotte (Miller), his upstairs neighbor and bohemian single mother; Wilder (Evans), a charismatic documentarian who lives with his pregnant wife, Helen (Moss); and Mr. Royal (Irons), the enigmatic architect who designed the building. Life seems like paradise to the solitude-seeking Laing. But as power outages become more frequent and building flaws emerge, particularly on the lower floors, the regimented social strata begins to crumble, and the building becomes a battlefield in a literal class war.
