Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022)

[Marty McFourth]

Release Date: August 31, 2022
​

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.​

Got no idea what I just watched, but I'm intrigued to say the least.

 

[Necro]

Yeah the glimpses I saw were cool, and Idris Elba movies are an automatic watch for me.

It's meant to be an epic fantasy romance film, and that is not the impression I got with the teaser.

Thought this shit was a horror at first with that first Idris scene. Amped to see more on Friday and hopefully it's a meaty trailer.

First poster.

You know that other Idris Elba movie where I said "I'm in".....I'm the opposite of that with this one.

Fair, I don't imagine it'll be everybody's cup of tea.

Can't wait for that Trailer Friday that Teaser had me wanting to say no mas because my eyes went through it with those flashes of Scenes being shown.

Seems like the Aladdin film that I wanted to be apart of.

This looks so cool, from the mind of George Miller so you know it’s going to be a trip.
