Saltburn the highly anticipated sophomore feature film from actor-turned-filmmaker Emerald Fennell is due to have its World Premiere at 50th Telluride Film Festival on August 31st.  Its a psychological thriller drama film written, directed, and produced by  Fennell set in the mid-2000s.  It follows a young college student (Barry Keoghan) who becomes infatuated with his aristocratic schoolmate (Jacob Elordi) and his wealthy but eccentric family.

The cast also includes Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver and Archie Madekwe .  It also reunites Fennell with  Carey Mulligan who starred in the multi-award-winning Promising Young Women, Fennell’s directing debut.  The buzz right now is comparing Saltburn with Anthony Minghella’s The Talented Mr. Ripley. but we are reserving our judgment until we get to see the film on the Opening Night of the BFI London Film Festival.  Watch this space for our review.

Saltburn is then scheduled to be released in a limited theatrical release on November 24, 2023, before expanding wide on December 1, 2023, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
