“The throne is vacant.”
Focus Features has debuted the first trailer for the upcoming drama CONCLAVE.
From director Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front) CONCLAVE follows one of the world’s most secretive and ancient events – selecting a new Pope. Cardinal Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) is tasked with running this covert process after the unexpected death of the beloved Pope. Once the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders have gathered from around the world and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence finds himself at the center of a conspiracy and discovers a secret that could shake the very foundation of The Church. Written for the screen by Peter Straughan, CONCLAVE is based on the 2016 book by Robert Harris.
The cast also includes Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, and Isabella Rossellini.
Berger’s All QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT was a critical success, receiving nominations for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay at the Academy Awards, and ultimately winning the award for Best International Feature Film. Straughn has written screenplays for movies and TV including Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) (co-written with Bridget O’Connor), Frank (2014) (co-written with Jon Ronson), The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) and adapted Wolf Hall for television. According to Variety, his next project “Folio will recount how a collection of Shakespeare’s works were assembled seven years after his death and preserved for future generations.”
Focus Features will release CONCLAVE in Select Theaters on November 1st, expanding Nationwide on November 8th. The film will be in cinemas across UK and Ireland November 29.
