Joe Wright’s Cyrano UK Trailer Is ‘Something To Die For’

2021 has been the year of the musical based films, 2022 looks like will continue the trend as Universal Pictures  are set to release Joe Wright’s Cyrano. Today they tease that film by releasing the First UK Trailer for the film and it might be ‘something to die for’!

The original story is based on the story of Cyrano De Bergerac considered one of the greatest love stories ever told. The Titular is played by Peter Dinklage  one of the greatest wordsmiths of his era. A man caught in a love triangle  with Kelvin Harrison Jr vowing for the love of Roxanne (played by Hayley Bennett). Despite his talents for words he is unable to tell her of his love for her and instead helps Christian to win her heart thanks to letters.

Majority of the musicals or ones soon to be released had Lin-Manuel Miranda, this musical doesn’t. That doesn’t mean this will be a bad film, refreshing to see a classical story approached in a different way…

Award-winning director Joe Wright envelops moviegoers in a symphony of emotions with music, romance, and beauty in Cyrano, re-imagining the timeless tale of a heartbreaking love triangle. A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac (played by Peter Dinklage) dazzles whether with ferocious wordplay at a verbal joust or with brilliant swordplay in a duel. But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of the love of a devoted friend, the luminous Roxanne (Haley Bennett), Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her — and Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight, with Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.).

The film also stars  Ben Mendelsohn and Bashir Salahuddin. Cyrano will be released in the UK and Irish cinemas from Friday 14th January 2022. (MGM  are releasing the film in the U.S on 31st December).
