Three Thousand Years of Longing | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

The Oscar buzz for 2023 has already begun thanks to the films premiering at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival!

Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba hit the red carpet for the premiere of their highly anticipated film Three Thousand Years of Longing on Friday night (May 20) in Cannes, France.

Idris was joined on the red carpet by his wife Sabrina.

The new film, directed by George Miller, is generating Oscar buzz for all the main players.

“With its imperfect perfection, the first contender for Oscar’s most coveted prize has arrived. Two of Miller’s films have received nominations: Babe (1995) and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). This is hands-down his most narrative-rich achievement, something that could bring him three Oscar noms as a producer, director and co-writer,” Variety reports.

The outlet also thinks Idris and Tilda will score acting noms!

Make sure to watch the trailer, which was just released this morning.

FYI: Tilda is wearing Chanel. Sabrina is wearing a custom Tony Ward Couture gown and Tiffany & Co. jewelry.

The upcoming movie Three Thousand Years of Longing has debuted its first trailer, minutes before the film premieres at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival!

The highly anticipated film is director George Miller‘s first movie to be released since his smash hit Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015.

Here is the synopsis: “Dr Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is an academic – content with life and a creature of reason. While in Istanbul attending a conference, she happens to encounter a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. This presents two problems. First, she doubts that he is real and second, because she is a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. The Djinn pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.”

The movie is set to hit theaters on August 31.

Tilda was seen in a vintage taxi while filming the scenes for the upcoming film.

Here’s a plot summary: “A scholar, content with life, encounters a Djinn who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. Their conversation, in a hotel room in Istanbul, leads to consequences neither would have expected.” The movie also stars Idris Elba.

According to a report from Deadline last Christmas, the film is set to conclude filming in early spring for a planned September 2021 arrival in theaters.

The Mad Max director previously said “It’s a movie that is very strongly visual, but it’s almost the opposite of Fury Road. It’s almost all interior and there’s a lot of conversation in it. There are action scenes, but they are by the by and I guess you could say it’s the anti-Mad Max.”

Tilda recently got candid about her sexuality in an interview.
