Magnolia has assigned the feel good movie of the century, Melancholia, a November release date. Thankfully it’s a bit before Thanksgiving or we’d be washing down our turkey dinners with a heaping helping of sadness and dismay.
Melancholia stars John Hurt, Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg (Antichrist), Kiefer Sutherland (Lost Boys, Mirrors), Charlotte Rampling (Angel Heart), Alexander Skarsgard (“True Blood”), Stellan Skarsgard (Exorcist: The Beginning), and Udo Kier (Suspiria).
The film’s title refers to Planet Melancholia, an enormous planet that looms threateningly close to Earth. “No more happy endings!” commented Lars von Trier in an earlier story. He is directing from his own screenplay.
Check out the trailer for Melancholia, which has been dubbed “a beautiful movie about the end of the world” along with the one-sheet below. Look for it in theatres on November 4th, 2011.
