We're back with our penultimate pair of exciting early previews of forthcoming attractions, gleaned from Conrad's time with Joe Lipsett at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). This time, the connection between them is simpler: they both feature one of Conrad's favourite actors, 1917's George Mackay.
The first, & Sons, stars Bill Nighy as a reclusive famous novelist who gathers his two estranged sons, Richard (Johnny Flynn) and Jamie (you guessed it, George Mackay), for an important announcement about their half-brother, Andy (Noah Jupe)... with a fantastical twist. This slow burn family drama with a sci-fi/fantasy element is an adapted from a novel by David Gilbert, directed by Pablo Trapero.
Perhaps more hotly anticipated is the new film from Cornish 16-mm phenomenon Mark Jenkins, director of Bait and Enys Men. Rose of Nevada features Mackay in a leading role alongside Masters of the Air's Callum Turner, as two men who unwisely sign up to work on a fishing boat that mysteriously drifted back into the docks – sans crew – after disappearing decades before. What follows is a voyage into an uncanny time-travel purgatory... but did it work? Find out!
