John Hurt Plays an Aging Screenwriter in ‘That Good Night’ Trailer

That Good Night Trailer

“Are you hiding something?” Trinity Creative has released an official trailer for an indie drama titled That Good Night, which originally premiered in 2017 at the Edinburgh and Shanghai Film Festivals. The film stars John Hurt (who passed away in early 2017 before this premiered at the festivals) as Ralph, a once-famous screenwriter, who is now in his seventies and terminally ill. But he still has two final missions: to be reconciled to his son, Michael, and, secretly, to ensure he is not a burden to his wife, Anna, as he goes “into that good night”. The film’s cast includes Sofia Helin, Max Brown, Erin Richards, Charles Dance, and Noah Jupe. I’m not so confident about this considering it has taken three years to finally get a release, but it does look quite interesting. I enjoy Hurt’s hat the most. As for the rest, it might be a heartfelt watch.

Here’s the new official trailer (+ poster) for Eric Styles’ That Good Night, direct from YouTube:
