Full UK Trailer for Empress Sisi Film 'Corsage' Starring Vicky Krieps

Corsage Trailer

"A lion doesn't lose sleep over the opinion of sheep." Picturehouse in the UK has revealed another trailer for the indie Austrian drama Corsage, from award-winning Austrian filmmaker Marie Kreutzer. This one is opening in both the US and the UK at the end of December right around the holidays, playing exclusively in art house theaters. It's also Austria's submission to the Academy Awards this year. Empress Elisabeth of Austria, referred to as "Empress Sisi", is best known for her beauty and fashion trends. But in 1877, she celebrates her 40th birthday and must fight to maintain her public image. With a future of only ceremonial duties in front of her, she rebels against her public image and comes up with a plan to protect her legacy. Vicky Krieps stars as Elisabeth in the film, along with Florian Teichtmeister, Jeanne Werner, Alma Hasan, Finnegan, and Colin Morgan. Not one of our favorite films this year, an acquired taste I might say (I recommend skipping it entirely). But some may find it peculiar and fascinating. Give it a look below.

Here's the official UK trailer (+ new UK poster) for Marie Kreutzer's Corsage, direct from YouTube:

Corsage Poster

Written and directed by Kreutzer, Corsage follows Empress Elisabeth of Austria (Vicky Krieps), one of the most magnetic royals of the 19th century, who was idolized for her beauty and renowned for inspiring fashion trends. But in 1877, ‘Sisi’ celebrates her 40th birthday and must fight to maintain her public image by lacing her corset ever tighter. While Elisabeth’s role has been reduced against her wishes to purely performative, her hunger for knowledge and zest for life makes her more and more restless in Vienna. She travels to England and also to Bavaria, visiting former lovers and old friends, seeking the excitement and purpose of her youth. With a future of strictly ceremonial duties laid out in front of her, Elisabeth rebels against the hyperbolized image of herself and comes up with her own unique plan to protect her legacy…

Corsage is written and directed by acclaimed Austrian filmmaker Marie Kreutzer, director of the films The Fatherless, Gruber Is Leaving, We Used to Be Cool, and The Ground Beneath My Feet previously. It's produced by Alexander Glehr and Johanna Scherz. This initially premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, and it already opened in Germany/Austria in July this summer. IFC will debut Kreutzer's Corsage in select US theaters starting on December 23rd, 2022 later this year. Anyone want to see this?

Blumhouse is Making a ‘Fantasy Island’ Movie

Image
The frightmasters at Blumhouse have come up with their most terrifying idea yet! They’re developing…*checks notes*…a  Fantasy Island movie! Yes, that’s right – a film based on the 1970s Aaron Spelling series about an island where all your dreams can come true…for a price.  Jeff Wadlow , who directed Blumhouse’s  Truth or Dare , will helm the TV-to-film adaptation. Even if you’ve never seen a single episode of  Fantasy Island , I’m betting you’re familiar with it. It was a brightly-lit ’70s-’80s TV show that featured Ricardo Montalbán as a mysterious man in a white suit, and Hervé Villechaize as his sidekick who was famous for yelling, “The plane! The plane!” Here are the rather whimsical opening credits. Fantasy Island According to Deadline , the folks at Blumhouse took one look at this and said, “We’re making that a movie.”  Truth or Dare director Jeff Wadlow will be behind the camera, and he’ll also co-write the film with his  Truth or Dare writers  Chris Roach and Jillian

The 14 Most Dangerous Mission: Impossible Stunts, Ranked Worst To Best

Image
"Mission: Impossible" premiered on CBS in 1966 as an upside down "Topkapi" riff that left the conniving to the good guys. For creator Bruce Geller, expertise was the point. Characters and plots were left blank and blurry, forcing viewers to join the Impossible Missions Force or be left in the high-tech dust. Fun only got in the way; Geller famously scolded star Peter Graves for smiling at the end of an episode. In 1996, director Brian De Palma reinvented the series as a star vehicle for Tom Cruise, and it's nothing but fun. The second film even includes a joke about how its star can't stop smiling. The fuse burns brighter than ever and expertise remains the native tongue, but "Mission: Impossible" has carved a new legacy in theaters -- mainly, its reputation for showing off knuckle-whitening, insurance-defying stunts, often performed by Cruise himself. Factoring in franchise importance and danger inherent, the following 14 examples are the best
