If there’s anyone who can be trusted to tell a biting story about the rich and powerful behaving badly, it’s Fennell, the daughter of Theo Fennell — a British jewelry designer known for mingling with the upper classes — and an alum of the ritzy Marlborough College in Wiltshire (via Vogue). Adding to the intrigue is a cast that includes Rosamund Pike, who looks to once again tap into her darker side here, much like she did to notable effect in “Gone Girl” and “I Care a Lot.” Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver, and “Grand Turismo” star Archie Madekwe round out the film’s impressive ensemble, with Mulligan also co-starring.
As you might expect, Amazon Studios and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are taking “Saltburn” on a tour of the film festival circuit to drum up more buzz ahead of its theatrical release, starting with its premiere as the opening film at the BFI London Film Festival on October 4, 2023. Adding to the film’s awards-season friendly trappings, “Barbie” star and “Promising Young Woman” producer Margot Robbie is also backing Fennell’s sophomore feature through her LuckyChap label. Will “Saltburn” make as big a splash as “PYW” did in 2020? That’s an admittedly tall order, but this is certainly one title to keep a close eye on over the final third of 2023.
“Saltburn” opens in select theaters on November 24, 2023, before going wide a week later on December 1.
