George Miller is back with a brand new film being described as an “epic fantasy romance”, and a new teaser trailer has arrived for ‘Three Thousand Years of Longing’ which is set to make it’s premier at Cannes.
According to the synopsis: “Dr Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is an academic – content with life and a creature of reason. While in Istanbul attending a conference, she happens to encounter a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom.
“This presents two problems. First, she doubts that he is real and second, because she is a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. The Djinn pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.”
The film also stars Kaan Guldur, Alyla Browne, and Angie Tricker.
