While we still have several months left to wait untilKit Haringtonreturns as Jon Snow inGame of ThronesSeason 7, fans who attended the Venice Film Festival this weekend got to see his new movieBrimstone. Today we have three new clips from this Western, which showsKit Harington’s character Samuel going to meticulous lengths to get his revenge. If that wasn’t enough we also have a new photo gallery fromBrimstone
The Playlistdebuted these clips, the first of which showsKit Haringtondropping a noose over his unsuspecting enemy’s head, while he sits in an outhouse. While the other two clips aren’t quite as intense, it’s clear that fans of dark Westerns will surely be drawn toBrimstone. The project doesn’t have a U.S. distributor yet, but that may change soon as it continues on the festival circuit, with a screening at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) next week.
Liz (Dakota Fanning) has a quiet country life on a farm with her kind-hearted husband and children, but we immediately sense that things are too good to be true. One Sunday, a mysterious new reverend (Guy Pearce) gives his inaugural sermon, and Liz fills with terror; her past has come back to haunt her. Following the service, a local woman goes into labor on the church floor.
Through no fault of Liz’s, the birth goes woefully wrong. When the woman’s husband seeks revenge, the reverend comes to the rescue of Liz and her family - though he warns that punishment will soon befall her. The next day, the family’s sheep are found slaughtered, Liz is sequestered, and her daughter is kidnapped. Thus begins a nigh-biblical sequence of events involving blood, fire, and an epic years-long odyssey spanning states and territories. The supporting cast includesCarice Van Houten,Carla Juri,Emilia Jones,William Houston,Ivy GeorgeandNaomi Battrick.
Martin Koolhovendirects from his own script, with this project marking his English-languagedirectorial debut. We’ll be sure to keep you posted aboutBrimstone’s release date and other updates as it continues on the festival circuit. Until then, take a look at these clips and photos fromBrimstonebelow.
