The Green Knight to hit cinemas this summer
Written and directed by David Lowery, The Green Knight is set to be released this summer after the movie was delayed to open due to a pandemic back in May 2020.
David Lowery’s, “The Green Knight” stars Dev Patel as Sir Gawain, King Arthur’s reckless nephew, who embarks on a quest to confront and defeat the eponymous green-skinned stranger.
“The Green Knight” marks a reunion between Lowery and A24. The indie studio was behind the release of “A Ghost Story,” which opened to critical raves in 2017 and grossed nearly $2 million on a $100,000 production budget.
A24’s official synopsis for “The Green Knight” reads: “An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, ‘The Green Knight’ tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur’s reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men. Gawain contends with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers in what becomes a deeper journey to define his character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and kingdom by facing the ultimate challenger.”
A24 will release “The Green Knight” in theatres on July 30.
