FIRST MOVIE IMAGES FROM
DANCE FIRST BIOPIC
A bunch of new movie images for you today, starting with Gabriel Byrne as Samuel Beckett in DANCE FIRST biopic on the Waiting for Godot writer. With him as the famous Irish playwright, Aidan Gillen plays James Joyce. Maxine Peake also stars and Sandrine Bonnaire too as his wife. The story
covers various phases in Beckett’s life from Parisian bon vivant, to World War II Resistance fighter, Nobel Prize-winning playwright, philandering husband and recluse.
Its focus, however, is on Beckett’s reaction to winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969, which was a turning point in his life as he grappled with his own inner demons.

DYSTOPIAN THE BEAST
We
also have first photos from Venice Film Festival dystopian romance THE
BEAST from Bertrand Bonello set in a near future where artificial
intelligence reigns supreme and human emotions have become a threat.
Gabrielle (Lea Seydoux), a woman haunted by an irrational fear, is being
told that she must purify her DNA to heal from past traumas in order to
get a
proper job. Through the process, Gabrielle revisits past lives
and immerses herself in buried memories from 1910 and 2014, where she
reunites with Louis
(George MacKay), her great love. While their bond
has transcended lifetimes and eras, it’s also at the root of her
premonition that something tragic will happen. Beside Venice, the movie
will also hit Toronto, New York and London film festivals.
