A new trailer has been released for the dramatic thriller The Forgiven, starring Academy Award-nominee Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient, Schindler’s List, Harry Potter) and Academy Award-winner Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty, The Help, The Eyes of Tammy Faye). The film was directed by John Michael McDonagh, who adapted the script from a novel by Lawrence Osborne.
Fiennes and Chastain are joined in the cast by Matt Smith, Ismael Kanater, Caleb Landry Jones, Abbey Lee, Saïd Taghmaoui, and Christopher Abbott.
Here’s the official synopsis:
“Speeding through the Moroccan desert to attend an old friend’s lavish weekend party, wealthy Londoners David and Jo Henninger (Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain) are involved in a tragic accident with a local teenage boy. Arriving late at the grand villa with the debauched party raging, the couple attempts to cover up the incident with the collusion of the local police. But when the boy’s father arrives seeking justice, the stage is set for a tension-filled culture clash in which David and Jo must come to terms with their fateful act and its shattering consequences.”
This looks like a really crazy movie about a whole lot of unlikable people. Check out the trailer below and watch The Forgiven when it’s released in theaters on July 1, 2022.
