Trailer For THE LOBSTER Starring Colin Farrell & Rachel Weisz
The first trailer for Yorgos Lanthimos’s (Dogtooth, Alps) upcoming dark comedy The Lobster has been released. Not inspired by true events, the film is set in the dystopian near future where single people, according to the laws of The City, are taken to The Hotel, where they are obliged to find a romantic partner in forty-five days or are transformed into beasts and sent off into The Woods. I want to go there! I’ll definitely be seeing this one next week at TIFF. Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, John C. Reilly Lea Seydoux and Ben Whishaw star. The film is set to open in UK theatres on October 16.
A love story set in the near future where single people, according to the rules of The City, are arrested and transferred to The Hotel. There they are obliged to find a matching mate in 45 days. If they fail, they are transformed into an animal of their choosing and released into The Woods. A desperate Man escapes from The Hotel to The Woods where The Loners live and falls in love, although it is against their rules.
