“Saltburn” is Emerald Fennell’s upcoming thriller starring Rosamund Pike, Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi and Carey Mulligan. It test-screened yesterday in Culver City, California and reactions have been wildly positive.
If you remember, Fennell directed the Sundance sensation, “Promising Young Woman,” in 2020. She went on to win a Best Original Screenplay Oscar, but was also nominated for Best Picture and Best Director. Obviously, her follow-up comes with high expectations.
Those expectations seem to have been met last night, with some saying the film felt like “The Talented Mr. Ripley.” Filmed last summer, “Saltburn” is about a grand, aristocratic English family and is a story of obsession. I’ll have more as details start to trickle in…
Earlier this year, Zack Snyder mentioned having seen James Gunn’s “Superman.” Heaping praise on it. Now he’s saying he actually hasn’t caught up with it yet?
