The New Line Cinema drama THE GOOD LIAR pairs Oscar winner Helen Mirren (“The Queen”) and two-time Oscar nominee Ian McKellen (“Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” “Gods and Monsters”) on the big screen for the first time.

Bill Condon, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of “Gods and Monsters” directed and produced from a screenplay by Jeffrey Hatcher (“Mr. Holmes”), based on the widely acclaimed book The Good Liar, by Nicholas Searle.

Career con artist Roy Courtnay (McKellen) can hardly believe his luck when he meets well-to-do widow Betty McLeish (Mirren) online. As Betty opens her home and life to him, Roy is surprised to find himself caring about her, turning what should be a cut-and-dry swindle into the most treacherous tightrope walk of his life.

THE GOOD LIAR also stars Russell Tovey (TV’s “Quantico”) and Jim Carter (TV’s “Downton Abbey”). Greg Yolen also served as producer, alongside Condon. The executive producers were Jack Morrissey, Nick O’Hagan, Aaron L. Gilbert, and Jason Cloth.

The creative filmmaking team included director of photography Tobias A. Schliessler (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Mr. Holmes”), production designer John Stevenson (BAFTA nominee, “Burton and Taylor”), editor Virginia Katz (“Mr. Holmes,” ACE Award winner for “Dreamgirls”) and costume designer Keith Madden (miniseries “Patrick Melrose,” “Mr. Holmes”).

THE GOOD LIAR was filmed on location in London and Berlin. It opens in theatres on Friday, November 15, 2019.

A New Line Cinema presentation, in association with BRON Creative, the film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

This film has been rated R for some strong violence, and for language and brief nudity.
