Topless Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan Shine in Seductively Dark ‘Saltburn’ Trailer
Emerald Fennell, the brilliant mind behind the Oscar-winning “Promising Young Woman,” is ready to take us on another cinematic rollercoaster with her latest creation, “Saltburn” starring Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan. The highly-anticipated film recently released its second trailer, giving us a deeper look into the intriguing world of the Catton family and their eccentric, aristocratic lifestyle.
The film’s plot revolves around Oliver Quick, portrayed by Barry Keoghan, an Oxford student who finds himself irresistibly drawn into the mesmerising world of the charismatic Felix Catton, played by Jacob Elordi. The trailer, released on October 19, teases a summer at Catton’s sprawling estate, Saltburn, that is bound to be unforgettable.
What stands out immediately in the trailer is the undeniable chemistry between Keoghan and Elordi. Elordi, best known for his role in “Euphoria,” turns up the heat as Felix, appearing shirtless and oozing charisma. This summer promises more than sunshine and roses, with sex, drugs, torment, and excess entwining as the plot unfolds.
With the success of “Promising Young Woman,” Keoghan’s recent Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for “The Banshees of Inisherin,” and the excitement surrounding Elordi’s upcoming role as Elvis in Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla,” the stars have truly aligned for Fennell’s “Saltburn.”
The film also features a star-studded cast, with Keoghan and Elordi leading the charge. Rosamund Pike and Richard E. Grant add their seasoned expertise to the mix, and the return of Carey Mulligan, who starred in Fennell’s “Promising Young Woman,” promises another outstanding performance.
“Saltburn” had its international premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on October 4, receiving rave reviews. For those eager to get lost in the world of “Saltburn,” the film will have a limited theatrical release on November 17, followed by a wide release on November 22.
As the trailer tantalisingly teases, “Saltburn” is more than just a film; it’s a seductive journey into the unknown, where secrets and desires collide, and nothing is what it seems. Emerald Fennell’s dark academia tale promises to be a cinematic experience that you won’t want to miss.
