Jacob ElorditurnsBarry Keoghan’s summer break upside down in their new movie.
On Thursday, Amazon MGM Studios released the new trailer for filmmakerEmerald Fennell’s new movieSaltburn, described as “a beautifully wicked tale of privilege and desire” in an official synopsis.
The film stars Keoghan, 31, as an Oxford University student circa 2006 named Oliver whose new friend Felix (Elordi, 26) invites him to spend the summer at his family’s estate.
At Saltburn, Oliver is tossed into an intoxicating world of hard-partying, well-dressed aristocrats and appears to begin to lose his sense of self. In one moment, Saltburn’s residents are shown taking part in karoake — in another, Oliver punches a mirror and shatters the glass.
