Idris Elba Is A Genie In George Miller's 3,000 Years Of Longing Trailer
The first trailer for George Miller's Three Thousand Years of Longing arrives revealing Idris Elba starring as a genie in the fantasy epic. The upcoming film centers on Alithea, a scholar that feels content in her life who encounters a Djinn that has been trapped for 3,000 years and offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. While having a discussion in an Istanbul hotel room, the two learn more about one another and leads to a situation neither had anticipated.
Idris Elba is leading the cast of Three Thousand Years of Longing as the Djinn alongside Tilda Swinton as Alithea, Aamito Lagum, Burco Gölgedar and Matteo Bocelli. Development on the film was first announced in late 2018 when Mad Max creator George Miller set the fantasy epic as his next project and cast Elba and Swinton shortly thereafter with the hopes of beginning production in late 2019. Following delays due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Three Thousand Years of Longing would finally begin filming in late 2020 in Miller's home country of Australia and now audiences are getting their first glimpse at the long-awaited project.
Ahead of the film's Cannes premiere, MGM has unveiled the first Three Thousand Years of Longing trailer. The brief video reveals Idris Elba starring as a genie in George Miller's fantasy epic and announces that the official trailer will be premiering this Friday. Check out the teaser below:
