Paramount Pictures has debuted the first trailer for their upcoming comedy Savage House, which hits UK cinemas this summer, and you can watch it below!

Written and directed by Peter Glanz, director of The Longest Week, Savage House stars Richard E. Grant, Claire Foy, Jack Farthing, Bel Powley, Kila Lord Cassidy, Richard McCabe, Vicki Pepperdine and Pip Torrens.

Savage House is Glanz’s sophomore feature, having previously directed The Longest Week, which starred Jason Bateman and Olivia Wilde. He has also adapted Byron Janis’ book “Chopin and Beyond: My Extraordinary Life in Music and the Paranormal” for Paramount Pictures and co-written the upcoming Jean-Michel Basquiat biopic “SAMO Lives,” directed by Julius Onah (via Deadline)

Foy was last seen in the acclaimed drama H is for Hawk, and will soon be seen in The Magic Faraway Tree opposite Andrew Garfield. Grant, meanwhile, was last seen in Nuremberg, 100 Nights of Hero and The Thursday Murder Club. Indeed, the film has a hugely impressive cast and, judging by the trailer, this could be some brilliant counter programming to all the summer blockbusters coming our way.

Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of 18th-century England, a massive Pox outbreak, and Jacobite Uprising – this is a timely and darkly satirical story of Sir Chauncey Savage (Grant) and Lady Savage’s (Foy) blind pursuit of a better life. It is not without a tinge of irony that their family name is the Savages, for this is a Savage House indeed. Filled with duels, decadence, and bloodshed, this is a madcap play on class and power.

Savage House opens in UK cinemas on June 5th.
