Let’s find out some new details about The Beacon, a film that sees Ralph Fiennes as director and screenwriter
Remembered above all for his interpretation of Voldemort, which made him one of the actors most appreciated by adults and children alike, Ralph Fiennes he can actually count on a respectable career. In the next few months he will return, this time also as director and, for the first time, also as screenwriter, in a new film entitled The Beacon. Here’s what we know about it.
Plot and cast | The Beacon: Ralph Fiennes signs his first screenplay
The Beacon promises to be a truly intense film; a raw reflection on society and family, set in Great Britain. The synopsis reads:
Joshua Nyaga decides to leave London and go to the countryside to spend a summer weekend with his girlfriend Cass and her family for the first time. Torn, when he was just a boy, by the violence of the civil war in Uganda and catapulted into the asphalt jungle of London, Joshua has never had the privileges enjoyed by Cass’s family. Surrounded by the sea and magnificent natural landscapes, the country house is an oasis brimming with high ideals and lively conversations between Cass’ father and stepmother and their longtime friend Michael. Joshua is warmly welcomed, but a sudden act of violent racism at a local concert disrupts the overall peace, forcing Joshua and those around him to confront the uncomfortable truth about their differences.
Fiennes himself will be the protagonist of the feature film. At his side Indira Varma, Charles Babalola e Alison Oliver.
Previous directorial works
We are very curious to find out what Fiennes has in store with his first screenplay. Instead, we can already have an idea of his directorial hand, through his previous works in this role. Before The Beacon he in fact directed 3 other films, all very different from each other. He made his debut behind the camera in 2011, with Coriolanus, based on a tragedy by William Shakespeare. In 2013 she worked on The Invisible Womanwhile in 2019 with the biopic dedicated to the dancer Rudolf Nureyev, entitled Nureyev – The White Crow. Who knows what he will give us this time.
