Lizzie Trailer – Chloë Sevigny & Kristen Stewart bring a lesbian edge to an infamous murder

August 6, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The murder of Lizzie Borden’s father and stepmother became one of the most famous crimes of the 19th Century. It wasn’t just because of the ferocity of violence involved – both of them were killed by multiple ax/hatchet blows – but because it appeared a woman had committed the crimes.

Now a new film is coming that gives its own spin on the tale, with Lizzie (Chloë Sevigny) under the thumb of a brutish, controlling father, and a sapphic frisson between Borden and the household’s maid, Bridget Sullivan (Kristen Stewart). The trailer has arrived to give us a taste of what looks like it could be a tense and intriguing LGBT-themed movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Academy Award® nominee Chloë Sevigny (Boys Don’t Cry, “Big Love”) stars as Lizzie Borden, the notorious woman at the heart of one of the most enduring mysteries in American history. After a lifetime of loneliness, Lizzie finds a kindred spirit in housemaid Bridget Sullivan (Kristen Stewart) and their secret intimacy sparks an unthinkable act. Director Craig William Macneill (The Boy (2015), “Channel Zero: Candle Cove”) explores the days leading up to the savage crimes in a dark tale of repression, exploitation and thwarted dreams.’

The movie will be in US cinemas on September 14th, 2018, with a November 26th release set for the UK. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Director: Jon Jencks
Running Time: 89 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: July 3rd 2017 (UK)

Stephen Fry’s debut novel, The Hippopotamus, has gained a lot of fans since its debut in 1994. It would seem like a good candidate for a film version. Sadly though, what we’ve got is rather limp.

Ted Wallace (Roger Allam) is a famous poet who hasn’t written anything for years, and whose very vocal cynicism causes him to lose his main means of support – as a theatre critic. In order to make money he agrees to go to the grand house of his former friend, Michael Logan (Matthew Modine), under the guise of visiting his godson, David (Tommy Knight). [Read more…]
