Amazon Studios release first trailer for Foe, an upcoming adaptation of the novel of the same name. The film will release theatrically in Ireland on October 20th.
Academy Award nominee and IFTA winners Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn, Ladybird) and Paul Mescal (Normal People, Aftersun) star alongside Aaron Pierre in Foe (Old, The Underground Railroad), an apocalyptic chamber-piece thriller.
The film follows Junior (Mescal) and Henrietta (Ronan), a married couple living in a rural farmhouse 40 or so years into the future. Their quiet life is thrown into turmoil when an uninvited stranger, Terrance (Pierre), shows up at their door with a startling proposal.
Foe is an adaptation of a novel of the same name written by Iain Reid, author of the Charlie Kaufman-adapted I’m Thinking of Ending Things, and directed by Garth Davis (Lion). Davis and Reid co-wrote the adapted screenplay. Davis is also producing the film, alongside Iain Canning (The King’s Speech), Kerry Kohansky-Roberts (Boy Erased), and Emile Sherman (Lion).
Foe releases in Irish cinemas on Friday 20th October.
