Maika Monroe & Emma Corrin in ‘100 Nights of Hero’ Official Trailer

“Any time you feel like you need rescuing, I’ll tell a story.” IFC Films has debuted the full official trailer for 100 Nights of Hero, a fantasy romance thriller from the filmmaker Julia Jackman as her second film so far (after Bonus Track). It’s set to hit theaters starting in December – an impressive indie creation with some top notch fantasy world building. When her neglectful husband departs after placing a secret wager to test her fidelity, Cherry and her sharp-witted maid must fend off a dangerously seductive visitor: Manfred. The film is adapted from the hit graphic novel of the same name. Here’s a better intro from that book to setup the storytelling concept: “In the tradition of The Arabian Nights, a beautifully illustrated tapestry of folk tales and myths about the secret legacy of female storytellers in an imagined medieval world. In the Empire of Migdal Bavel, Cherry is married to Jerome, a wicked man who makes a diabolical wager with his friend Manfred: if Manfred can seduce Cherry in one hundred nights, he can have his castle – and Cherry.” Uh no! Starring Emma Corrin as Hero, Nicholas Galitzine as Manfred, Maika Monroe as Cherry, Amir El-Masry, Charli XCX (yes for real!), Richard E. Grant, and Felicity Jones. I caught this at the Venice Film Festival and really dug it – highly recommend catching this when it opens next month. Very good film. // Continue Reading ›
