5 Interesting A24 Movies Destined For Critical Acclaim In 2020
1. The Green Knight
Think of the reaction that you had when you heard that Guy Ritchie was making a six-film franchise of Arthur films. Did you say 'meh' out loud or only in your head? Either way, the Warner Brothers franchise was shelved. The 2017 film made a loss at the box office and was widely panned by critics. The consensus was that there was no longer an appetite for Arthurian tales of adventure. A24 aims to prove that theory wrong in 2020 with The Green Knight.
Dev Patel leads a brilliant cast in an Arthurian legend brought to the big screen by David Lowery. The story follows Sir Gawain, the wilful and determined nephew of King Arthur, on his quest to fight the legendary Green Knight, a 'gigantic green-skinned stranger.' The trailer dropped last week and film fans were waving their cash around รก la Fry in Futurama. The raving centred around how well the trailer was made. It kept everything interesting yet shrouded in mystery.
With millions of views already devoted to the teaser, we can see this potentially being the biggest hit of the year for A24. A new kind of summer blockbuster, one that both entertains and challenges. With a supporting cast including Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Barry Keoghan, and the criminally underrated Sean Harris, critics will be falling over themselves to throw roses at the bottom of the big screen it's shown on. Take our money.
