20th Century Fox has been keeping their budget tight and their wallets shut when it comes to any wide marketing for their upcoming pic Tristan & Isolde. With only a week to go before the film's release, I wouldn't be surprised if only a quarter of the movie-going population has ever heard of the film.
But here the film comes and 20th Century Fox is ready and set for it's release. The trailer looks good, the poster gets the message and the plot summary looks solid. Though we may be a bit late, here is our first preview to the upcoming film Tristan & Isolde.
Tristan & Isolde Preview
Tristan & Isolde stars James Franco, Sophia Myles, Rufus Sewell, David Patrick O'Hara, Mark Strong, Henry Cavill, Bronagh Gallagher and Dexter Fletcher. The film was produced by the Scott brothers and directed by Kevin Reynolds (The Count of Monte Cristo). To the right is the official movie poster for the film and below is a shortened version of the synopsis plus the movie trailer and clips for the film.
After the fall of Rome, the warlords of England are brutally kept in line by the forces of Irish King Donnchadh. One of these leaders, Lord Marke (Rufus Sewell) seeks to unite the English tribes to form one strong nation to rule itself. His greatest knight is Tristan (James Franco), whom Marke raised since he was orphaned in an Irish attack that also took Marke's family. With Tristan by his side, Marke believes he can unify his people and rid England of Irish rule. But Tristan harbors a terrible secret…
Wounded and left for dead after battle, he is nursed back to health by Isolde (Sophia Myles), a mysterious Irish beauty who hides him from her father, King Donnchadh's, forces and brings him back to life. But their passionate affair is cut short when Tristan must return to England, not knowing if he will see Isolde again.
Still seeking to throw the English tribes back into chaos, King Donnchadh gives away his daughter as the prize in a tournament between all the champions of England. Tristan wins the princess' hand for Lord Marke, whose vision of a united England may finally be realized.
Tristan is horrified to see that the woman he has won for his Lord, the woman whom Marke will marry, is his Irish savior Isolde.
