Bulldog Film Distribution has debutedt he first poster artwork for Craig Roberts’ upcoming directorial feature Eternal Beauty. The film hits cinemas at the beginning of October with Sally Hawkins, David Thewlis, Billie Piper, Morfydd Clark, Penelope Wilton and Alice Lowe amongst the cast. Roberts also wrote the script. A trailer for the film is promised for next week.
The synopsis is as follows: When Jane (Sally Hawkins) is dumped at the altar she has a breakdown and spirals into a chaotic world, where love (both real and imagined) and family relationships collide with both touching and humorous consequences.
Shot in and around writer/director Craig Robert’s native South Wales, the inspiration for the character of Jane at the heart of Eternal Beauty came from people Craig was close to when growing up. He explains “The character came fully formed. I just kind of knew those people, to be honest. In most movies that I’ve seen that tackle mental health or mental health issues, the protagonists are always the victim, or they’re deranged and possessed and it’s a horror film. I wanted to flip it. I’d rarely seen it where you’re like, ‘Oh, wait, she’s the normal one; everyone else is the one that’s not normal.’ I wanted to take this psychological element of it, and go, ‘this maybe isn’t a weakness. Maybe it’s a superpower.’”
I’m really looking forward to this. You can check out the poster above and we’ll bring you the trailer as soon as it is released in the coming days. Eternal Beauty will be released in UK cinemas on 2nd October.
