NEON has premiered the first trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s new film “The Christophers”.
Ed Solomon pens the project which stars Michaela Coel, Sir Ian McKellen, Jessica Gunning and James Corden.
McKellen plays Julian Sklar, once a star of London’s 1960’s and 70’s pop art explosion, but hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years.
His two estranged children, desperate for an inheritance, hire an art restorer and former forger to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access eight unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage.
Her plan is to complete them, then return them to storage, where they are to be ‘discovered’ upon Julian’s death.
Jim Parks and Iain A. Canning produce. The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last year to rave reviews.
“The Christophers” will be released in cinemas in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, April 10th.
