‘Saltburn’: First Trailer Revealed for Emerald Fennell’s New Film
MGM and Amazon Studios revealed today the official trailer for Saltburn, Emerald Fennell’s directorial follow-up to Promising Young Woman, which will open the London Film Festival next October before a theatrical bow on November 24. The promo comes on the heels of Vanity Fair putting out a full story focused on the upcoming film.
The film, shot by La La Land cinematographer Linus Sandgren, will also play at Telluride this weekend, the festival announced today, but it was rejected by the New York Film Festival. The cast includes Barry Keoghan as Oxford student Oliver Quick, who meets Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi), a member of the wealthy elite. Felix invites him to his family’s estate, Saltburn, where he will have the chance to absorb himself into the depravity and twisted English high society. As Fennell put it to Vanity Fair:
“If it feels real, if it feels like something you really might do alone in the grips of desire, then it doesn’t feel too much for me. For that completely overwhelming carnal desire to take hold, there has to be an element of revulsion, there has to be an element of transgression.
“My favorite thing in general is sympathy for the devil. The sorts of people that we can’t stand, the sorts of people who are abhorrent—if we can love them, if we can fall in love with these people, if we can understand why this is so alluring, in spite of its palpable cruelty and unfairness and sort of strangeness, if we all want to be there too, I think that’s just such an interesting dynamic.”

The ensemble also includes Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver, Archie Madekwe, and Carey Mulligan. Fennell’s Promising Young Woman was my favorite film of 2020, which is enough to make me excited for this film! Check out more photos first previewed by Vanity Fair this week here:

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.
