StudioCanal have sent us the main trailer for director Ben Wheatley's (Kill List, Sightseers) latest film, High-Rise (2015), starring Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans, James Purefoy, and Elisabeth Moss. The film will open in cinemas across the United Kingdom on March 18.
Synopsis: 1975. Two miles west of London, Dr. Robert Laing moves into his new apartment seeking soulless anonymity, only to find that the building's residents have no intention of leaving him alone. Resigned to the complex social dynamics unfolding around him, Laing bites the bullet and becomes neighbourly. As he struggles to establish his position, Laing's good manners and sanity disintegrate along with the building. The lights go out and the lifts fail but the party goes on. People are the problem. Booze is the currency. Sex is the panacea. Only much later, as he sits on his balcony eating the architect's dog, does Dr. Robert Laing finally feel at home…..
In the United States, Magnet Releasing, the genre arm of Magnolia Pictures, has acquired the distribution rights to the film, and plans to have it in theaters across the nation later this year.
