Followers of former (and hopefully future) Star Wars stars will certainly be getting their fill soon when ‘wickedly entertaining class satire’ British dark comedy The Worst arrives, starring Jamie Dornan, Alicia Vikander and GFFA stars Keira Knightley (The Phantom Menace) and Erin Kellyman (Solo: A Star Wars Story).
Two-time Oscar nominee Keira Knightley, Oscar winner Alicia Vikander, BAFTA nominee Jamie Dornan and fast-rising talent Erin Kellyman (“Solo: A Star Wars Story,” “28 Years Later”) have been cast in dark comedy “The Worst,” marking the feature directorial debut of Simon Woods.
As per the description, “The Worst” skewers “privilege, power and performative morality, turning an elegant couples’ getaway into a hilariously disastrous night to remember.”
The film centers on socialite Emily Fisher (Vikander) and her husband Max as they invite their equally wealthy friends to their new chateau in France for the night. Among the guests are a group of people who really can’t stand each other: Holly (Knightley), a struggling diversity consultant who continuously clashes with everyone until she gets a migraine, and Danny (Dornan) a quick-witted talent agent that name-drops his client list every chance he gets. As the evening begins to unravel and dark secrets are revealed, waitress Niamh (Kellyman) finds herself right in the middle of their chaos.
