Netflix has unveiled the teaser trailer for the upcoming The King, a new period piece led by the hugely talented Timothée Chalamet. The film comes to the streamer and selected cinemas later this year. Along with Chalamet, the film boasts an amazing cast that includes Joel Edgerton, Sean Harris, Lily-Rose Depp, Robert Pattinson, and Ben Mendelsohn. One of the best casts of the year? I think so.
Here’s the plot synopsis:
Hal, wayward prince and reluctant heir to the English throne, has turned his back on royal life and is living among the people. But when his tyrannical father dies, Hal is crowned King Henry V and is forced to embrace the life he had previously tried to escape. Now the young king must navigate the palace politics, chaos and war his father left behind, and the emotional strings of his past life — including his relationship with his closest friend and mentor, the ageing alcoholic knight, John Falstaff.
The film is writted by Joel Edgerton and David Michôd and directed by David Michôd.
