High Rise
Director: Ben Wheatley// Writer: Amy Jump
The fast moving and increasingly prolific Ben Wheatley commands a significant following after only four incredibly well received feature films, including Down Terrace (2009), Kill List (2011), Sightseers (2013), and his most experimental title to date, A Field in England (2013). He’s back with High Rise, which also features Wheatley’s most high profile cast, including Elizabeth Moss, Sienna Miller, Jeremy Irons, and headlining Tom Hiddleston. Based on JG Ballard’s classic novel, a young doctor enraptured by the exclusive world created in a state of the art high rise building in Thatcher’s Britain, and his subsequent discovery that beneath the surface, nothing is quite what it seems.
Cast: Tom Hiddleston, Elisabeth Moss, Sienna Miller, Jeremy Irons
Producer: Recorded Company Picture’s Jeremy Thomas
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available.
Release Date: Filming took place in Northern Ireland, and Wheatley seems to be a favorite at Cannes (though A Field in England bypassed for Karlovy Vary) and we’re thinking either a Special Screening or Director’s Fortnight slot may be possible.
