A couple days back Focus Features dropped the first trailer for “Land”, their upcoming drama set to premiere at Sundance in January before its wider release February 12, 2021 just in time to qualify for Oscar consideration. It’s the directorial debut for Robin Wright working from a screenplay written by Jesse Chatham and Erin Digman. Wright did some directing for the hit television show “House of Cards”, but this is the first time at the helm for a feature film. This first look leaves a really good impression.
Wright also plays the film’s lead character who goes off the grid following a devastating personal loss. “It’s really difficult to be around people.” She retreats to a remote cabin in the wilderness and disconnects from society. But when a hunter played by Demian Bichir saves her from near-death, she finds in him someone who helps her cope with her sorrow and view life through a different lens. So much in this first trailer lands well from its deeply personal perspective to the gorgeous mountain setting. I’m in.
Once again “Land” is set for a Sundance premiere and then a full release February 12, 2021. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
I saw this too when I was trailer hunting and it’s definitely on my list!
I’ve seen and read a few reviews of WW1984 now and everyone seems to agree it’s a pile of poo, which is saddening. Patty Jenkins is directing a Star Wars movie I believe and Cleopatra with Gadot again, hope she gets her mojo back for those.
And they’ve announced that Warner Bros. has already green lit WW3. As for WW1984, it has its fun moments. But it’s such a letdown from the first movie.
Watched the trailer yesterday and def going to check it out. My kind of movie.
I’m really looking forward to it.
This looks interesting as I do want to see this as I hope she’s a much better filmmaker than her douchebag ex-husband.
I really like the look of it. This isn’t the first movie of its kind, but when they’re done well they can be very affecting.
