Edward Berger’s papal drama Conclave is scheduled to hit UK cinemas in late November. More on the film below.
The trailer for Conclave, Edward Berger’s upcoming drama set in the Vatican, was released last month and we’re intrigued by its premise. Ralph Fiennes leads an impressive ensemble cast in this story about choosing the next Pope. As if that wasn’t dramatic enough, it seems that there’s a hint of conspiracy going on too.
When the trailer landed, we didn’t have a set release date for the film, but that has now been rectified. Conclave will officially hit UK screens on 29th November.
Here’s the trailer, to refresh your memory.
There’s not a whole more to this story. We simply wanted to let you know when the film is coming out, but to please the Seo lords, we’ll waffle on a bit longer.

Edward Berger’s follow-up to All Quiet On The Western Front is Conclave – and here’s the trailer for the movie.
Off the back of the huge critical success of 2022’s All Quiet On The Western Front, director Edward Berger likely found himself with lots of options.
The director is certainly enjoying a bit of a moment, with some sources suggesting that he could be given the keys to the James Bond franchise next and tasked with successfully conceiving a new 007 to fill the rather large (and impeccably tasteful) shoes vacated by Daniel Craig.
Whether that comes to pass or not though, Berger’s next film to release will be Conclave, a papal drama set in the Vatican that centres around the secret process of selecting a new Pope after the death of the previous incumbent.
The filmmaker has drawn on some heavyweight talent for this adaptation. The source material is a Robert Harris book,...

Ralph Fiennes’ Cardinal Lawrence is about to discover what unholy trouble looks like as he attempts to decide who will be the next Pope in Edward Berger‘s Conclave trailer. Acting as the person who judges the intensity of one’s love for the Lord and who is the best representative of the highest church is enough to make even the most devoted tremble with uncertainty. Imagine being the person who appoints the next Pope after the sudden passing of a world-famous and beloved figure. No, thank you. What if we add a conspiracy to the mix? Cluth your prayer beads tightly, folks; it will be a vicious contest.

1980s black comedy unravels the brutal legacy of a despot who is as ludicrous as his crimes are appalling
The sense of an ending is what this fascinating film delivers: an unimaginably painful ending and the moral reckoning that has to follow. This dreamlike satire from Georgian film-maker Tengiz Abuladze, was made in 1984 but suppressed for three years before release. This was not so much for its coded critique of Stalinism – of which the Soviet authorities had long since learned to parrot their regretful disapproval – but of the pusillanimous loyalty to the Stalinist memory that persisted in the Ussr for generations, and the taboo that even then forbade serious reassessment of Stalinist crimes and exhumation of its buried horror. Now Repentance is revived and its strange theatricality and madness are more disturbing than ever.
Partly a bizarre parable, it is an absurdist social-surrealist attack on power and state violence. Like Blue Mountains,...

Ever since I left and embarked on the long path of making movies I have been wanting to return,” Berger said in a press statement. “To now work with [Focus Features Chairman] Peter Kujawski and his incredibly dedicated team feels like I have arrived at a home that I‘ve always missed. I am grateful and so cannot wait to share the movie with audiences in the U.

Lithgow will play Cardinal Tremblay, Tucci will play Cardinal Bellini and Isabella Rossellini will play Sister Agnes.
Conclave is produced by House Productions and FilmNation Entertainment, with Peter Straughan writing the script. The ensemble cast includes Carlos Diehz, Lucian Msamati, Brían F. O’Byrne, Merab Ninidze and Sergio Castellitto.

The Peter Straughan-penned script based on Robert Harris’ bestselling novel centers on the secret papal conclave, which is electing a new Pope. After the death of a beloved Pope, Cardinal Lawrence (Fiennes) is tasked with running this covert process inside the back corners of the Vatican.

Benedict Cumberbatch on the friendship at the centre of The Courier, & the multiverse of MCU content

With his new film The Courier finally due out in UK cinemas this week, we had the pleasure of catching up with star Benedict Cumberbatch to discuss the new thriller that shows an important part of history that we – and many more, we suspect – would not have been aware of before.
The Courier sees Cumberbatch star as British businessman Greville Wynne, unwittingly recruited into one of the greatest international conflicts in history. Forming an unlikely partnership with Soviet officer Oleg Penkovsky (Merab Ninidze) hoping to prevent a nuclear confrontation, the two men work together to provide the crucial intelligence used to defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Like us, Cumberbatch himself had no idea about the story of these two men but, as with other roles he has taken on, that was part of the mystery and why he signed on.
“I think my parents might remember it but I shamelessly knew nothing about it,...

Although Russian director Aleksey German Jr.’s incisive, nuanced new feature House Arrest (Delo) takes place almost entirely in one cluttered if spacious apartment, its thematic scope spreads wide, well beyond this story of a middle-aged academic David (Merab Ninidze) who is falsely accused of embezzlement.
Openly critical of the endemic corruption and state-sponsored violence that’s metastasized throughout Russia, this international co-production will resonate with anyone aware of how harshly people are treated who speak out throughout that country.

"Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse” is a lively formulaic action-hero origin story, dunked in combat grunge, that demonstrates how a resourceful lead actor can bend and heighten the meaning of a commercial thriller. In the opening sequence, which looks like an outtake from “Zero Dark Thirty” shot in the rubble of “Full Metal Jacket,” John Kelly (Michael B. Jordan), the leader of a team of U.S. Navy SEALs, heads up a mission in Aleppo to rescue a CIA operative who’s been taken hostage. The enemy combatants turn out to be Russian ex-military forces — which is not only a surprise, but something the team’s CIA overseer, the weaselly Robert Ritter (Jamie Bell), is trying to keep from them. Back in the States, several of the SEALs who were part of the mission are killed, execution-style, by Russian nationals. The assassins go after Kelly, too, gunning down his pregnant wife,...

Benedict Cumberbatch stars in the true-story The Courier, an entertaining Cold War-era spy tale told in a pleasingly classic style. Grounded by sterling performances by Cumberbatch and Merab Ninidze, from TV’s “McMafia,” this is a true story about an ordinary British citizen Greville Wynne (Cumberbatch) recruited by MI6 and the CIA to contact a high-level Soviet military intelligence colonel Oleg Penkovsky (Ninidze), and who ends up at a courier carrying intelligence back to London as the Cold War heats up, intelligence that proves crucial in the Cuban Missile Crisis. The two men form a unexpected friendship, bonding as family men who both want to avoid nuclear war, something the Russian colonel fears Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev is moving towards.

“I was sent the script by my agent along with a bunch of other scripts and it just stood out from the rest so immediately,” Cooke tells The Wrap. “I just think it’s written with such heart and vision, and it’s a true story but I didn’t know that when I first read it.”

While the spy thriller The Courier is the true-life story of British businessman Greville Wynne (played with bravado by Benedict Cumberbatch), it is also the tale of a friendship between two men that transcends borders and political ideologies.
Set in the early 1960s, the film follows Wynne, who has been recruited by Mi-6 and the CIA to partner with a high-ranking Soviet officer named Oleg Penkovsky (Merab Ninidze) to gather intelligence in an effort to defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis and avert an all-out nuclear war. Wynne is tasked by CIA operative Emily Donovan (Rachel Brosnahan) and Mi-6 agent Dickie Franks (Angus Wright) to relay messages and state secrets between themselves and Penkovsky under the guise of the normal course of his regular business trips. Everything goes according to plan, that is until the Kgb begins to suspect that something is afoot and the whole operation and the safety of...

The actress, who courted global fame with her starring role in "The Marvelous Mrs Maisel", essays the role of Emily, a CIA operative involved in a dangerous do or die mission in "The Courier".
Brosnahan said: "I appreciated that Emily was a character who helped drive the action, and that (director) Dominic (Cooke) and (writer) Tom (O'Connor) wanted to figure out a way to include a female voice in the room, but didn't overlook the unique challenges that she would face as a woman at the time."
Talking about the nuances of Emily and her cunning ways, she added: "To get what she wants, Emily must appear non-threatening. I think Emily believes that she's the smartest person in the room or at the very least,...

Having taken on Alan Turing, Julian Assange, and Thomas Edison, Benedict Cumberbatch is no stranger to playing real people. He is seen doing it again the new trailer for The Courier, directed by famed theater director Dominic Cooke. Playing Greville Wynne, the real-life businessman who helped penetrate the Soviet nuclear program for MI6 during the height of the Cold War, Cumberbatch is co-starring alongside Rachel Brosnahan and Jessie Buckley in this tale of intrigue. The Courier premiered at the Sundance Film Festival under the name Ironbark and will be released by Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions on March 19.
Dan Mecca said in our review, “From the start, Cooke directs this film at a fast clip. Montages abound with peppy music and establishing scenes cut into action while the dialogue continues off-screen. Things slow way down in the third act, for better and worse. Cumberbatch is reliable as ever in the lead role,...

"We are only two people, but this is how things change..." Lionsgate + Roadside Attractions have finally unveiled an official trailer for a film titled The Courier, which is now scheduled to open in US theaters in March 2021 after being delayed from release last year. This originally premiered at last year's Sundance Film Festival under the title Ironbark, and was one of my favorite films of the fest. The true story spy thriller is about an unassuming British businessman Greville Wynne, who is recruited by MI6 during the Cold War, to travel to Russia and obtain top secret nuclear intelligence delivered by another Soviet officer. The two strike up a friendship over their years working together, and it's more than just a spy film it's a film about how similar we all are, even as "enemies".

Here’s your first looks at Benedict Cumberbatch in the brand new trailer for The Courier, only in theaters March 29.
Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Merab Ninidze, Rachel Brosnahan, Jessie Buckley, The Courier is a true-life spy thriller, the story of an unassuming British businessman Greville Wynne (Cumberbatch) recruited into one of the greatest international conflicts in history.
At the behest of the UK’s Mi-6 and a CIA operative (Brosnahan), he forms a covert, dangerous partnership with Soviet officer Oleg Penkovsky (Ninidze) in an effort to provide crucial intelligence needed to prevent a nuclear confrontation and defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The film is directed by Dominic Cooke and written by Tom O’Connor.
