Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet, Mia Wasikowska and Sam Neill star in trailer for Blackbird

August 18, 2020 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its release next month, a poster and trailer have arrived online for director Roger Michell’s upcoming drama Blackbird. Based on the 2014 Danish film Silent Heart, it features a cast that includes Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet, Mia Wasikowska, Sam Neill, Rainn Wilson, Bex Taylor-Klaus, and Lindsay Duncan; take a look here…

Lily (Susan Sarandon) and Paul (Sam Neill) summon their loved ones to their beach house for one final gathering after Lily decides to end her long battle with ALS on her own terms. The couple is planning a loving weekend complete with holiday traditions, but the mood becomes strained when unresolved issues surface between Lily and her daughters Jennifer (Kate Winslet) and Anna (Mia Wasikowska). Joining the collective farewell are Lily’s son in law (Rainn Wilson), her lifelong friend (Lindsay Duncan), daughter’s partner (Bex Taylor-Klaus) and grandson (Anson Boon). Her story is ultimately one of hope, love and a celebration of life.

Blackbird is set for release on September 18th.
