The first trailer for the upcoming Queer thriller-drama Saltburn has been released.
Starring Barry Keoghan (Eternals) and Australian actor Jacob Elordi (Euphoria), saltburn follows Oxford University student Oliver Quick (Keoghan), who finds himself drawn to the wealthy and well-connected fellow student Felix Catton (Elordi). This attraction brings him into contact with Jacob鈥檚 world and a 鈥渢wisted bunch of characters鈥�.
‘A Summer Never To Be Forgotten’
The official logline of the movie reads, 鈥淪et in the mid-2000s and shot in a variety of locations around the UK, [the film will see] student Oliver Quick struggling to find his place at Oxford University and [finding] himself drawn into the world of the charming and aristocratic Felix Catton, who invites him to Saltburn, his eccentric family鈥檚 sprawling estate, for a summer never to be forgotten.鈥�
‘Sympathy For The Devil’
Speaking to Vanity Fair about these 鈥渢wisted鈥� characters, director Emerald Fennell said, 鈥淚f it feels real, if it feels like something you really might do alone in the grips of desire, then it doesn鈥檛 feel too much for me. For that completely overwhelming carnal desire to take hold, there has to be an element of revulsion, there has to be an element of transgression.鈥�
She continued, 鈥淢y favorite thing, in general, is sympathy for the devil. The sorts of people that we can鈥檛 stand, the sorts of people who are abhorrent鈥攊f we can love them, if we can fall in love with these people, if we can understand why this is so alluring, in spite of its palpable cruelty and unfairness and sort of strangeness, if we all want to be there too, I think that鈥檚 just such an interesting dynamic.鈥�
Opens October 4

Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), Alison Oliver (The Order), Ewan Mitchell (House of the Dragon), Archie Madekwe (Heart of Stone), Lolly Adefioe (Black Mirror), Reece Shearsmith (Venom: Let There Be Carnage), Paul Rhys (Napoleon), and Carey Mulligan.
