Man between this and Copperfield my wife's crush on Dev Patel is gonna continue for the foreseeable future.
(I don't feel threatened. If I felt threatened she would also have to feel threatened.)

i'm having nightmare flashbacks to my first year as a lit student failing to translate the Middle English of the original text and having to make things up on the fly during the seminar when we were tasked with presenting passages. remember still liking it overall tho
anyway, this looks pretty great. great to see Dev Patel here. he was superb in David Copperfield.

it's based on an Arthurian story by an unknown poet from the Middle Ages, where one of the knights of the round table accepts a challenge by a mysterious green knight. i think there's plenty of translations available today if you're interested, it's pretty short.

Gorgeous poster. Type and imagery in the marketing is 😩👌great poster
Best I've seen for a wide release in a bit.
I echo this post 100%. I love the Arthurian myths but most of the film adaptions are fucking shit. This looks incredible.
Nice to see 'The Wheel of Fortune' in a movie too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rota_Fortunae
I mean it's called The Green Knight..who else is it going to be about?
That trailer is stunning. Looks like one of the best adaptations of Arthurian legend ever. Love the horror-dark fantasy vibes I'm getting here.
You could choose to be believe there is some historical truth in it, or example you could choose to believe that Arthur and Gawain actually existed.
If you want to read the root of many of these stories have a look at Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain. You should not treat it as a historical record but there are lot of cool stories in there.
Aesthetically, looks like Dark Souls of movies.

I have no idea about Green knight's legend. Time to google.

I wasn't in love with the trailer, but A24 has made some great releases so I'll keep my eye on this one.
I've also never heard of The Green Knight. May keep myself in the dark in case I watch the film.

I didn't know that's where the dude started, that is wild!
A24 keeps distributing films that push the envelope and I'm always down for the ride. This looks like the adult focused fantasy adventure flick I've wanted all of my adult life.
Yeah, the style they are going for here is something I've wanted to see materialized in a fantasy.
Okay, how did I miss the fact that the guy who made A Ghost Story is the one who made Pete's Dragon?! That is so random.. now I feel kinda bad for him that it didn't do better.
This looks really interesting -- looking forward to a more substantial trailer.
