New Trailer for “Never Let Me Go” with Sally Hawkins
A new trailer for “Never Let Me Go” with Sally Hawkins has been released! You can watch it below courtesy of Fox Searchlight:
The film, based on the sci-fi novel “Never Let Me Go” by Japanese-British author Kazuo Ishiguro, does not have a set release date at present, but will feature Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield in the title roles, with the lovely Charlotte Rampling as ‘Miss Emily’.
Sadly, the IMDb entry for the film does not yet list a character name for Sally Hawkins, but going by the rather intriguing trailer, it seems she may be one of the newer(?) teachers at Hailsham school (see 0:22 – 1:06).
Given that the Man Booker Prize shortlisted novel has been adapted by Alex Garland (some may recall his name from the screenplay of The Beach) and also the discussion surrounding the critically acclaimed novel itself, there’s no doubt that this film will give food for thought as well, especially with such a promising trailer.
Will you read the book before the film? I’m not sure yet, but here are some links to reviews of the novel to help you make up your mind:
