Armie Hammer and Lily James captivate audiences with their outstanding performances in the Netflix adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s iconic novel, Rebecca. The film follows the newly married Mrs. de Winter (played by James) as she navigates her way through the haunting mysteries hidden within her husband’s ancestral home, Manderley. Hammer delivers a mesmerizing portrayal of the brooding Maxim de Winter, while James shines as the timid yet determined protagonist. Directed by Ben Wheatley, the movie beautifully captures the gothic atmosphere and suspenseful storyline of du Maurier’s masterpiece, offering a riveting and captivating viewing experience..
Netflix just released the official trailer for Ben Wheatley’s Gothic offering Rebecca, adapted from the novel by Daphne Du Maurier. If the title sounds familiar, that’s because the previous film adaptation was Alfred Hitchcock’s 1940 version, with Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine in the leading roles.
Armie Hammer plays Maxim de Winter, whose first wife Rebecca has died under mysterious circumstances, her body never found. Although Rebecca never shows up in the novel, her presence is felt, especially because of the obsessive Mrs Danvers (played by Kristin Scott Thomas in this modern adaptation), who preserves Rebecca’s room and things despite her passing. Lily James is the new Mrs de Winter, where after a whirlwind romance she agrees to marry Maxim and returns with him to Manderley, his grand mansion by the sea in south-western England.
The film will be showing in select theatres, which means that Netflix is predicting some awards buzz for the film. This is hardly surprising, given the cast involved as well as the look and feel of the film from the trailer alone. Hitchcock’s version took home the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Cinematography, and it looks like this modern version might have a shot as well.
Rebecca will be released on Netflix October 21, 2020.
