“Saltburn” follows the story of a young Oxford student, Oliver, who finds himself swept away to the aristocratic world of his classmate, Felix, as the duo makes their way to the latter’s Saltburn estate.

As mentioned, “Saltburn” is written and directed by Fennell. The film stars Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver, Archie Madekwe, and Carey Mulligan. Producers on the film include Margot Robbie and Josey McNamara of LuckyChap Entertainment.

“Saltburn” has been selected as the Opening Night film at the BFI London Film Festival and will eventually make its way to theaters on November 24. You can see the first-look images below.

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) brings us a beautifully wicked tale of privilege and desire.
