This mothafucka created a new genre.
Maybe someone else has done it before, I dunno, but it does feel super fresh and unique.
And if Ain't Them Bodies Saints, A Ghost Story and The Old Man & the Gun are any indications, this movie is gonna slap.
And here I thought that Guy Richie's King Arthur film was the only time I would put Arthurian and horror together in a sentence when it came to films but god bless Lowery for changing that.
Funny that you say that
So the "Green Knight" movie looks like it's heavily inspired by Dark Souls
That's Dark Souls right? Im looking a Dark Souls inspired movie arent I?

I only recently watched A Ghost Story, having never seen anything from Lowery, and I fucking loved it. Then I heard of this, peaking my interest as we don't see many strong Arthurian films these days. And man, this trailer is just fucking amazingly on point. There's a safeness and sterility to a lot of Arthurian representation in film, and I get it, many of these stories are rewritten and shot to appeal to a wider audience and diverse ages. But the horror undertones here enrich the story in a way perfectly suited to Sir Gawian and the Green Knight. There's an unsettling tone to the myth and I love how it's being represented here.
Cannot fucking wait.

Saw a screening. Was asked not to say anything about the movie, so I'll respect that. I really want to talk about it though lol... but I won't.
I'm really interested in the specifics of the direction they go with it. There's lots of weird implications depending on how you view the story.
Looks good though and appropriate for the story.

Looks interesting, I liked The Old Man and the Gun and loved A Ghost Story. I much prefer trailers like this which give a sample of the tone and style of the film but give nothing away.
This could be the best one since Boorman's Excalibur. Which has Nichol Williamson's Merlin to end all Merlins and without a single cliché. Not horror, but unsettling and tinged with madness. Williamson plays him as a manic schemer and disappointed enabler of men's worst instincts, which he grants with drippingly obvious cautions which are profoundly ignored by horny or aggro knights and kings. The pace of that movie is insane. It thunders along like a chase movie, and the transformation of Arthur from Boy to King with the same actor is shocking. Also one of the more bizarre set drama anecdotes:
Nichol Williamson told Boorman he didn't want to work with Helen Mirren, because he once tried to hook up with her on a production of Macbeth, and she turned him down. Mirren said the same thing - "I don't want to work with Nichol because I tried to seduce him during Macbeth and he wasn't having any of it." So the tension folks, IS REAL. The production values swing from perfect, to 80s chromium glamor, to Star Trek level caverns. All of it set to a monstrous brooding and portentous score of Wagner and even Carmina Burana - that you forget is classical music and believe is scored for the film. I LOVE THIS FILM> I think a young person might be turned off though. It's definitely oddball.
Nah, it's a movie inspired by the popular video game franchise Dark Souls.
This looks fantastic. I will place it amongst the many films I will want to see and then fail to do so.
I can't post any information about it, sorry! I'll definetely be keeping an eye on this thread though.
Edit: Thinking about it now, probably no use in posting in the first place, considering I can't contribute anything to the conversation. Bah!

Thanks for sharing.
I wonder in what manner it is gonna to deviate(?), because I remember it to be sometimes quite humorous.
Like in this Welsh/Russian adaption done Welsh/UK tv I want to share (Warning there is some mild nudity):

SELFISH QUESTION
Any chance this gets released to stream early? Not a summer blockbuster obviously but it's due out in a month - this seems like something they could just sit on tho. But if they release for streaming there's various scenarios it could make more money than in a theatrical window.

They already have a rent/stream relationship with Amazon, I could see them going that route and letting Amazon push it to expose more people to their woefully under-appreciated streaming platform.
But that's just wishful thinking :(
Huh. I would have thought it would have been delayed by now.
But who knows. Maybe A24 can capture a much bigger audience with streaming.

Hmmm.
I remember liking this when I had to read it in school but can't remember details. Interest definitely piqued though. And while I don't always actually like A24 films, they've all been quality. I'm in.

More homework for anyone interested in the lore:
"So what did you say?"
"I said if we're not getting paid overtime, I'm not working overtime!"
"You said that?"
It's out in a month theoretically. I'd have been bumping with or without a pandemic- but I think that Doomburrito could at least safely drop an emoji hint!
