Sony Pictures Classics has unveiled a July 14th release date and trailer for The Miracle Club, their Dublin-shot comedy that Laura Linney, Maggie Smith, Kathy Bates and Agnes O’Casey lead for Emmy-nominated director Thaddeus O’Sullivan.

Ezra Miller and Ben Kingsley both portray famed artist Salvador Dalí in the first trailer for the forthcoming biopic Dalíland.
The spot for the film from director Mary Harron (American Psycho) was released Thursday ahead of the film’s release June 9 in theaters and on-demand. Magnolia Pictures nabbed the feature following its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September.
Dalíland centers on a gallery assistant, played by newcomer Christopher Briney, who is tasked with helping Dalí (Kingsley) prepare for a prominent show in the 1970s amid the artist’s tense relationship with his wife, Gala (Barbara Sukowa). Miller portrays a younger version of the Surrealist painter in flashback scenes.
“Death — it frightens me, and this is the basis of my inspiration,” Kingsley says during an emotional moment from the footage.
Rupert Graves, Andreja Pejić and Suki Waterhouse also appear in the movie that has a script from John C. Walsh.

The ‘Game of Thrones’ star, Emilia Clarke, is set to portray the Irish author Constance Lloyd, who was married to Oscar Wilde, in the film ‘An Ideal Wife’ that is being directed by ‘Good Luck to You, Leo Grande’ helmer Sophie Hyde.
The project will be presented at this week’s American Film Market, which is set to begin on Tuesday, reports Female First UK.
The film will tell the story of Lloyd — an author and feminist activist who took part in the dress reform movement which campaigned to allow women to dress in comfortable clothing rather than the stifling outfits of the era.
According to Female First UK, Lloyd married Wilde in 1884 and the pair had two sons. However, she moved to Switzerland with the children after the writer received a two-year prison sentence for homosexuality.

Emilia Clarke has been tapped to take on the role of Irish author and Oscar Wilde’s wife Constance Lloyd in ‘An Ideal Wife.’
Plot details are currently being kept locked up but it is said that it will shed light on Lloyd, who was an author and feminist activist who took part in the dress reform movement, which campaigned to allow women to dress in comfortable clothing rather than the stifling Victorian dresses of the era. Lloyd married Wilde in 1884 and the couple had two sons. However, after Wilde received a two-year prison term for homosexuality, which was still illegal at the time (it would only be decriminalized in England and Wales in 1967), Lloyd moved to Switzerland with their children and distanced them from the writer.

Emilia Clarke is finding her post-Game of Thrones days in projects like Marvel’s Secret Invasion Disney+ series and dramatic films like the upcoming McCarthy starring opposite Michael Shannon. The former Targaryen is now set to play Constance Lloyd in an upcoming film from Sophie Hyde. Constance Lloyd, in addition to being the wife of renowned author Oscar Wilde, was also a notable feminist activist who fought for women to progress their social attire out of archaic-fashioned dresses.
Variety reports that the film, titled An Ideal Wife, will focus on Lloyd. Although the plot for the film has yet to be revealed, Lloyd was married to author Oscar Wilde in 1884 and birthed two children with him. The activist took part in the women’s dress reform movement of the time, which called for women to be allowed to be dressed in less stifling Victorian-era clothing and more comfortable dresses.

If only this film stuck to that idea and didn’t take a detour into a misbegotten coming-of-age plotline about the young assistant both Dalis take a shine to in their own way.

The 47th Toronto Film Festival on Tuesday selected the Mary Harron-directed Dalíland as its closing-night movie. The pic stars Ben Kingsley as the older Salvador Dalí and Ezra Miller as the younger Dalí. However, the TIFF press release left Miller’s name off the cast credits.
It’s been public knowledge that Miller is in the film. The Flash star this week was charged with felony burglary in Vermont in addition to several other run-ins with the law this year. Deadline learned this morning that Miller has not been cut out of Dalíland.
In a 2021 Cannes Market interview with Deadline, Harron told us: “We started looking at Dalí in the 1970s, the older Dalí, with flashbacks to the younger Dalí, which are rendered like an old movie. That format really excited me. Ezra had like three days between finishing Fantastic Beasts and starting The Flash, and insisted on coming and doing our film.

Exclusive: Oscar winner Ben Kinglsey is no stranger to inhabiting larger-than-life characters. From Gandhi to Schindler’s List and Sexy Beast, the actor’s career has spanned a wide variety of roles with presence and gravitas. Despite his comfort with such parts, Kingsley says that approaching the enigmatic and iconic Salvador Dalí in Mary Harron’s Daliland – the story of the artist’s strange and fascinating marriage to his tyrannical wife Gala (played by Barbara Sukowa) – was still a “daunting task”.
“He was exhausting and exhilarating to portray,” comments Kingsley in his first interview since wrapping the movie. “Dali’s cup overflows. I had to give myself the opportunity to take risks. Dali encouraged me to take risks. That could have been catastrophic, but it could also pay off. If I’m in Dali’s silhouette, then I must allow myself to take certain risks.

Famous for playing the 1956 Fa cup final with a broken neck, Trautmann went from Nazi soldier to goalkeeping legend and symbol of truth and reconciliation. Now, his life is the subject of a new film
Film director Marcus H Rosenmüller looks out of the car window, a little spooked. “It is only one kilometre from the concentration camp,” he says. We are in a quiet, pretty, well-heeled town, a short drive from Munich. It is called Dachau.
“It’s quite shocking to be coming to Dachau, isn’t it?” says the British producer Chris Curling. Both men agree there is something eerily appropriate about filming here. They are making a movie about the life of the legendary German Manchester City goalkeeper Bert Trautmann, who is still best known for his part in the 1956 Fa Cup Final against Birmingham City. With 17 minutes of the match left, he dived at the feet...

A new trailer has dropped for the upcoming film The Bookshop, which was the winner of three Goya Awards — Best Film, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay — and stars Emily Mortimer, Bill Nighy and Patricia Clarkson.
The film, set in 1959 England, is about a free-spirited widow (Mortimer) who risks everything to open a bookshop in a conservative East Anglian coastal town. While bringing about a surprising cultural awakening through works by Ray Bradbury and Vladimir Nabokov, she earns the polite but ruthless opposition of a local grand dame (Clarkson) and the support and affection of a reclusive book loving widower (Nighy). The film is based on Penelope Fitzgerald’s acclaimed novel and directed by Isabel Coixet (Learning to Drive).
The film was produced by Jaume Banacolocha, Joan Bas, Adolfo Blanco and Chris Curling.
Greenwich Entertainment acquired the film for theatrical release earlier this year. It will be released on Aug.
