Over fifty years in the business, Australian director George Miller has had an exciting career. With the nonstop post-apocalyptic action of the Mad Max trilogy, he has established himself as having one of the most distinctive and vital voices in film, essentially defining a new genre. Then he took a vacation from the desolate wasteland to watch Babe: Pig in the City and the two Happy Feet movies, which are family-friendly. Mad Max: Fury Road, regarded by critics and viewers alike as not just the best picture in the series but also one of the best action movies ever made, is Miller’s inevitable return to the Mad Max universe.
Miller’s next movie is his first original concept since Happy Feet. Even though Fury Road’s sequel and an Imperator Furiosa prequel have been confirmed, he is still invested in the Mad Max universe. The writer/dream director’s film, Three Thousand Years of Longing has supposedly been in the works for the past twenty years. Here are all the details we currently know about Three Thousand Years of Longing, which premiered at the renowned Cannes Film Festival and has a new trailer for its enigmatic fantasy drama.
Three Thousand Years of Longing. Release date
Although Miller’s upcoming movie had had its debut at Cannes, public audiences won’t be able to see it until the end of the summer. The precise date of Three Thousand Years of Longing’s general release is August 31, 2022. However, the trailer makes it abundantly apparent that the eagerly anticipated film will only be accessible in cinemas once it releases, so you won’t be able to view it there starting that date.
The cast of Three Thousand Years of Longing.
Tilda Swinton plays Alithea, the researcher who finds the genie, in the movie Three Thousand Years of Longing. The Oscar-winning actress has received repeated plaudits for her transformational performances, seen in big-budget films like Doctor Strange and more intimate ones like Snowpiercer.
Idris Elba, who has no name to his credit but plays the Djinn, joins her as the co-lead. The Djinn will unquestionably be an essential character in the plot. Elba, like Swinton, has a wide variety in the various characters he has played over the years, whether an inspirational military leader in the Pacific Rim or a cruel dictator in Beasts of No Nation.
Aamito Lagum plays the Queen of Sheba, Burcu Gölgedar plays Zefir, Matteo Bocelli plays Prince Mustafa, and other actors also appear in the movie. Hugo Vella portrays the young Ibrahim, Pia Thunderbolt portrays Ezgi, Anna Adams portrays Sugar Lamp, David Collins portrays the Jocular Storyteller, and Angie Tricker represents Murad IV.
George Miller, who also serves as the film’s writer, director, and producer, is the creator of Three Thousand Years of Longing. Augusta Gore will work with Miller as a co-writer, while Victor Hadida (Resident Evil), Dean Hood (Preacher), Craig McMahon (Black Site), and Doug Mitchell will work as co-producers (Mad Max: Fury Road). Along with Mitchell, Miller has worked with other Fury Road crew members again, including editor Margaret Sixel, composer Junkie XL, and cinematographer John Seale, who has returned from retirement after using his camera again for the final Max Max movie.
The plot of Three Thousand Years of Longing.
Even though the trailer, unlike most others, focuses more on exhibiting the film’s strange imagery than on giving away every plot twist, it at least lays out the basic premise of the story.
The primary character of Alithea, an arrogant, sane English scholar, is the focus of the novel’s central plot, which is based on A.S. Byatt’s short story The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye. Alithea, who was once married, now leads a reasonably lonely life; the most exciting time in her life is when she travels to Istanbul to attend a business conference. She discovers a vial there, which she is immediately captivated by.
Alithea discovers that a genie resides in the same bottle. It is after a brief trip back to England and a light rub. But, she isn’t as excited about the idea. As you might assume when she is told that she can make three wishes. Instead, considering how many of these stories end up being “cautionary tales”. So, she is a little curious and worried and wants to know how the entire “wish-making” process. It works and the potential risks this could pose to her life. The Djinn then attempts to allay her fears by showing her visions of his past. Also, the fantastic things his powers are capable of before she decides to make a wish.
Trailer
In the teaser, we are introduced to Alithea, a lonely Englishwoman. She discovers a mysterious yet lovely vial while traveling to Istanbul. A supernatural being is known as a Djinn (sometimes referred to as a genie). It emerges from the vial as she cleans it at home. The Djinn informs Alithea that he will grant her three wishes in the usual genie way. As the film progresses and closes with a sizzle reel of material primarily made up of what appear to be flashbacks of Djinn’s history and his prior masters, Alithea is left with many concerns and reservations about everything that has happened so far.
