When it was announced last March that David Lowery, director of Ain't Them Bodies Saints and my beloved A Ghost Story, was going to adapt the classic poem Gawain and the Green Knight for A24, I was immediately thrilled. The terrific Dev Patel was cast in the lead, and then they filled out the supporting cast with a who's who of Great Movie Faces, 2020 Edition -- Barry Keoghan! Sean Harris! Joel Edgerton! Ralph Ineson aka the dad from The Witch! Speaking of...

I still haven't seen Lowery's re-do of Pete's Dragon but I heard wonderful things about it and these shots are giving that vibe all the same -- the fox-hound and the quest through foggy wilderness... it's a vibe I very much dig, is my point. Here's the trailer:
