“Do you really want to leave her here alone, day after day?” Amazon Studios + MGM have unveiled the first official trailer for Foe, a new romantic drama from acclaimed filmmaker Garth Davis (of of the films Lion and Mary Magdalene before this). It’s currently set to premiere at the New York Film Festival, and could also show up at the Telluride Film Festival this fall, before opening in theaters this October. “Some people are made for each other.” Set in 2065, Hen and Junior farm a secluded piece of land that has been in Junior’s family for generations, but their quiet life is thrown into turmoil when an uninvited stranger shows up at their door with a startling, inexplicable proposal. This stars Saoirse Ronan, Paul Mescal, and Aaron Pierre. This trailer doesn’t hold back on introducing the sci-fi side of this film, set in the future one of them is being asked to join a space voyage – so they’ll create a robot replica of the other to stay with them on Earth. Interesting idea. The tone of this reminds me of Never Let Me Go in many ways – looks good.

Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for Garth Davis’ Foe, direct from Amazon’s YouTube:

Hen & Junior farm a secluded piece of land that has been in Junior’s family for generations, but their quiet life is thrown into turmoil when an uninvited stranger shows up at their door with a startling proposal. Starring Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal, Foe’s mesmerizing imagery and persistent questions about the nature of humanity (and also artificial humanity) bring the not-too-distant future to luminous life. Foe is directed by acclaimed Austrlaian filmmaker Garth Davis, director of the films Lion and Mary Magdalene previously, as well as a few shots and the doc P.I.N.S. The screenplay is written by Iain Reid & Garth Davis, based on the book also written by Iain Reid. It’s produced by Iain Canning, Garth Davis, Kerry Kohansky-Roberts, and Emile Sherman. This is set to premiere at the 2023 New York Film Festival this fall. Amazon + MGM releases Garth Davis’ Foe in theaters nationwide exclusively starting October 6th, 2023 in the fall.
