Kill List director Ben Wheatley’s next film might just be his most exciting yet as he teams up with Tom Hiddleston for a big screen adaptation of J.G. Ballard novel High-Rise. The Avengers Assemble and Thor: The Dark World star plays Dr. Robert Laing in the movie, and the first footage from High-Rise has finally been released in the form of a trailer which acts as a viral clip of sorts as we’re introduced to the building where chaos will soon reign.
The cast is very impressive, with names like Luke Evans (The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies), Jeremy Irons (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), and Sienna Miller (American Sniper) all joining Hiddleston. We actually get a glimpse of all of them in the video below.
Set in 1975, High-Rise documents the shocking breakdown of class and social structures within a brand-new high-tech London apartment building as its residents, including Laing (Hiddleston), slowly give in to their more animalistic impulses, turning the building into a bacchanalian den of iniquity. It looked for a while like High-Rise wouldn’t be getting a theatrical release, but we’re very glad to report that it’s now been lined up for next March!
