The movie High Rise has been premiering all over the globe! Places like Zurich and as of two days ago, London! As you know, I am smitten with one of its stars, the delicious Luke Evans. The movie also stars the gorgeous Tom Hiddleston, the beautiful Sienna Miller,the mysterious Elizabeth Moss, and it is directed by Ben Wheatley.
The story takes place in a huge high-rise apartment building during the seventies. As per the synopsis on IMDB:
Life for the residents of a high-rise building begins to run out of control. The unnerving tale of life in a modern tower block running out of control. Within the concealing walls of an elegant forty-storey tower block, the affluent tenants are hell-bent on an orgy of destruction. Cocktail parties degenerate into marauding attacks on 'enemy' floors and the once-luxurious amenities become an arena for technological mayhem...In this classic visionary tale, human society slips into violent reverse as the inhabitants of the high-rise, driven by primal urges, recreate a world ruled by the laws of the jungle.
Luke plays a ne'er do well playboy, sleazy husband of a pregnant Elizabeth Moss (Mad Men). Tom Hiddleston plays one of the more affluent characters.
I can't wait for its full release in the United States which as of this time had not been slated. So, hurry up already!!!!
