Check out this very naughty, sweary red band trailer for the upcoming British film Wicked Little Letters with Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley. Thea Sharrock directs the film which is set in a 1020s British seaside town. The film is set for a February UK release following a premiere back in September at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.
Anjana Vasan, Malachi Kirby, Eileen Atkins and Timothy Spall round out the main cast of the film.
A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark and absurd scandal in this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger than fiction true story, WICKED LITTLE LETTERS follows two neighbours: deeply conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s women – led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) – begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit after all.
This one will come to cinemas on 23rd February through STUDIOCANAL.
Here’s the trailer.
