Christian Bale stars in the crazy, sexy first trailer for Knight of Cups.
I don't know what the film is about either. The trailer is visually impressive, with Bale's character, Rick, seemingly partaking of an excess in sex and the party life. However, it also appears that he may be going through an existential journey of sorts. Rick seems to have reached a crossroads and is deciding what direction to go in. At least that is what I gleaned from the words and visuals in the trailer.
Written and directed by Terrence Malick (To the Wonder, Tree of Life), the film also stars Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman. The film will make its debut at the 65th Berlin Film Festival in February.
Here is the official synopsis courtesy of ScreenDaily:
"Once there was a young prince whose father, the king of the East, sent him down into Egypt to find a pearl. But when the prince arrived, the people poured him a cup. Drinking it, he forgot he was the son of a king, forgot about the pearl and fell into a deep sleep.
Rick's father used to read this story to him as a boy.
The road to the East stretches out before him. Will he set forth?"
Well, that was definitely a unique and thought-provoking synopsis. It does seem to go along well with what was presented in the trailer. It will be interesting to see what the final product looks like.
Knight of Cups will debut in US theaters sometime in 2015.
