This looks very exciting; it’s great to see how Dev Patel’s career has endured. A24 is the greatest film production company of the 21st C. Their output and quality is just astonishing.

This does look really amazing… I’m not familiar with Lowery’s work, but this looks like it could be a career maker.

Also: a talking fox.

edit: Retweets don’t imply endorsement, I don’t like the movie either. Didn’t mean to ruin anyone’s day!

nice. when i was 8 or 9 mom got me a picture book about the story of sir gawain and the green knight. it was surprisingly graphic for the late 60s picture books. this looks cool.

happy cake day, btw.

lol - i’ve been avoiding this because i kept seeing “the green knight” and i would think, “man, i just can’t keep up with all this Marvel stuff, pass…”

looks like a blatant rip off of that one movie with the talking tree kid that only says one word and his talking raccoon space bandit buddy. Pass.

I hope it is true for the original story. I’m sick and tired of cinematic ‘adaptations’ that take a premise, sell themselves as a retelling of the original material, and then proceed to go off on a completely different direction.

I’m loving the visual reference to Green Man of British religious architecture.

Also, that’s not a misogynistic piece of “art”…

Turns out this story is based on an even earlier graphic novel than the Marvel series.

Is there a way to make the beheading game not graphic, I wonder?

I guess the decision was a foregone conclusion once they decided to make a picture book out of it.

Not just British. Probably the most famous green man depiction is in Bamberg cathedral
