We’re still waiting for domestic distribution and release announcements for Ron Howard‘s latest pic “Eden,” a true crime thriller starring Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Sydney Sweeney, and Daniel Brühl that takes place on an island. While that anticipated information comes together, a German-language trailer has made its way online thanks to overseas distributor LEONINE Studios posting the footage on their YouTube channel.
The pic explores a famous true crime case known as The Galapagos Affair, in which seven Germans and Austrians relocated to the tiny, remote island of Floreana, in Ecuador’s Galápagos Archipelago, off the west coast of South America, in the Pacific Ocean, in the 1930s. Those events led to two dead and two others missing, which comes off as quite a perplexing story to unfold in dramatic fashion and in such a beautiful setting.
The Playlist reviewed “Eden” during its screening at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, which highlighted a breakout performance from Ana de Armas.
“‘Eden’ follows a group of people fueled by a profound desire for change; in order to turn their back to society they leave everything behind and set their futures on the harsh landscape of the Galapagos.”
A North American release date set for sometime in 2025 feels like a good bet to make, but we’ll have to wait for more information on that front.
