Poster To Three Thousand Years of Longing Starring Idris Elba And Tilda Swinton
MGM has released the official poster for director George Miller’s upcoming Three Thousand Years of Longing Starring Idris Elba And Tilda Swinton.
Dr Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is an academic - content with life and a creature of reason. While in Istanbul attending a conference, she happens to encounter a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom.
This presents two problems. First, she doubts that he is real and second, because she is a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. The Djinn pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.
Also included in the film are David Collins, Alyla Browne, Hayley Gia Hughes, Angie Tricker, Sarah Houbolt, Kaan Guldur, Jason Jago, Aska Karem, Aiden Mckenzie, Berk Ozturk, Jack Braddy, Randolph Fields, Anna Adams, John Puckeridge-Webb, James Dobbins Jones, Hugo Vella, Callum Moran, Tendai Dzwairo, Tahlia Crinis, David Paulsen, Nicolas Mouawad, and Shakriya Tarinyawat.
Written by George Miller and Augusta Gore, the film is based upon the short story “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye” by A.S. Byatt. Executive Producers include Dean Hood, Craig McMahon, and Kevin Sun. The music is by Tom Holkenborg
