As we told you last week, A24 and David Lowery‘s (A Ghost Story) The Green Knight (read Meagan’s 5-star review) is coming to the virtual A24 Screening Room for one-knight-only this Wednesday, August 18 at 9pm, but oddly enough, we’ve learned today that the film will also be coming to all traditional at-home streaming platforms… the very next day?
“This Thursday, August 19th, David Lowery’s acclaimed Arthurian epic will be available everywhere you rent movies,” A24 announced in a press release sent out this afternoon.
“From visionary filmmaker David Lowery comes a fresh and bold spin on a classic tale from the knights of the round table,” A24 explained The Green Knight last year.
“An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, The Green Knight tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur’s reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men. Gawain contends with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers in what becomes a deeper journey to define his character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and kingdom by facing the ultimate challenger.”
Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Barry Keoghan, and Ralph Ineson also star.
The Green Knight is rated “R” for “Violence, some sexuality and graphic nudity.”
