HBO Max’s ‘Scenes From A Marriage’ Limited Series Debuts First Trailer
One of the most hyped limited series of the year is almost here, and HBO Max finally released the official trailer for it.
Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain star in the adaptation of the 1973 limited series from legendary Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. Corey Stoll also makes an appearance. The new series will debut on HBO Max on September 12, but will make its worldwide premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where all five episodes will be streamed (although they will be out of competition). Here’s the trailer:
Israeli filmmaker Hagai Levi wrote and directed all five episodes of the new iteration, with Amy Herzog helping out writing both the premiere and the finale. The original show starred Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson. Bergman wrote and directed all six hour-long episodes. Pieces of them then were recut into a movie that was released in 1974.
This is not the first HBO Max series Oscar Isaac is a part of. In 2015, he starred in Show Me a Hero, and next year, he is slated to be the lead of Disney Plus’ Moon Knight show for Marvel Studios. In the past decade, he’s been a part of some of the best independent projects out there, as well as one of the public faces of the newest Star Wars trilogy. For great indie projects starring Oscar Isaac, make sure to check out Life Itself, Drive, Ex Machina, or Inside Llewyn Davis.
Chastain has been one of the most established actresses in the business for a long time. She also worked together with Isaac in 2014’s crime thriller A Most Violent Year, directed by J. C. Chandor. Coincidentally, both she and Isaac played the villain in back-to-back X-Men movies — respectively, Dark Phoenix and X-Men: Apocalypse.
Ingmar Bergman is the legendary filmmaker who has inspired several generations of American directors with both his direction and his writing. He was a prolific collaborator of Max von Sydow, who passed away not long ago, and became a household name in the U.S. in the last years of his life, after playing the Three-Eyed Raven in Game of Thrones, and Lor San Tekka in the first scene of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Perhaps his best collaboration with Bergman happened in 1957’s the Seventh Seal, where he played a medieval knight who faced off Death itself in a game of chess.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
