New Trailer and Poster For Empire of Light
It's awards season, and that means it's time for movies about movies that are also about social issues. It's the way of the land, and Searchlight does this game better than anyone. This year's entry into this small but lucrative subgenre is Empire of Light. Director Sam Mendes is the one doing this little dance, and Searchlight Pictures has released a new trailer and poster for the upcoming film set to be released on December 9th.
The early reviews for Empire of Light are looking pretty positive, with people praising the main cast's performances; however, there doesn't appear to be a lot of momentum around the movie now. Maybe that will change as we get deeper into the awards season, but right now, it looks like this is going to be one of those movies that ends up not making much of an impact despite all the names attached. Or maybe it will; it's really impossible to tell which one of these will hit hard and which ones will fade into obscurity.
