Ben Wheatley (KIll List, Doctor Who) has adapted J.G. Ballard’s dystopian classic, High-Rise – starring Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans, Elizabeth Moss and James Purefy.
A blurb from the novel reads, ‘When a class war erupts inside a luxurious apartment block, modern elevators become violent battlegrounds and cocktail parties degenerate into marauding attacks on “enemy” floors. In this visionary tale, human society slips into violent reverse as once-peaceful residents, driven by primal urges, re-create a world ruled by the laws of the jungle.’
The first teaser is a promo for the high-rise in question, narrated by Hiddleston. Check it out after the jump. High-Rise opens in the UK on March 18, 2016. U.S. dates to be determined.
