Elsinore Trailer
British theatre history hits the big screen with Andrew Scott starring in an extraordinary true story.
To be or not to be? BAFTA-winner Andrew Scott is an actor staring down the role of a lifetime in the film that shares the powerful, deeply moving, and inspiring true story of Scottish actor Ian Charleson. The trailer follows the former Chariots Of Fire star as he struggles to escape the shadow of the performance he’s famed for, searching for something more meaningful and artistically fulfilling. He finds it in a successful audition to play Hamlet at London’s National Theatre. But just as that dream comes within reach, a devastating diagnosis threatens everything. Urged by friends, family, colleagues, and doctors to step away, Charleson refuses to abandon the role. Determined to perform against all odds, he throws himself into preparations for what would become one of the most legendary stage performances in British theatre history. Directed by The Dig filmmaker Simon Stone and written by Pride screenwriter Stephen Beresford, the film is anchored by another astonishing turn from Scott, who leads a formidable British ensemble including Olivia Colman, Johnny Flynn, Billie Piper, Joe Locke, Peter Mullan, and more. Elsinore in cinemas January 29.
