Top 200 Most Anticipated Films for 2014: #114. Michael Winterbottom’s The Face of an Angel

Published on February 14, 2014

The Face of an Angel

Director: Michael Winterbottom
Writer: Paul Viragh
Producers: Melissa Parmenter and Riccardo Tozzi
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Kate Beckinsale, Daniel Bruhl, Cara Delevingne

Further down on our list you’ll see Winterbottom’s The Trip To Italy. We should see a double dose of him this year, and a dramatic effort to boot. While 2012’s The Look of Love was a serious endeavor, this latest sees the director return to thriller mode. A screenplay adaptation from actor turned writer Paul Viragh should be an interesting element.

Gist: Both a journalist and a documentary filmmaker chase the story of a murder and its prime suspect.

Release Date: While we’ll see Winterbottom’s other 2014 title unveil at Sundance, we’re hoping to see this pop up in Venice and Toronto.
