“Could you take me to Liverpool? I could get better there…” Lionsgate UK has unveiled the first trailer for a film titled Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool, which just premiered at the Telluride Film Festival this weekend to great reviews. It will play at TIFF next and the London Film Festival, too. The film tells the story of Academy Award-winning actress Gloria Grahame, as played by the ever-so-talented Annette Bening. It mainly focuses on her passionate romance with a much younger movie star named Peter Turner, as played by Jamie Bell, and it’s based on Turner’s actual memoir. The full cast includes Julie Walters, Vanessa Redgrave, Kenneth Cranham, Stephen Graham, and Frances Barber. Grahame starred in The Big Heat, It’s a Wonderful Life, In a Lonely Place, and Oklahoma!, and won the Oscar for her role in The Bad and the Beautiful. Based on the early buzz, this is definitely a film to keep an eye on. Take a first look below. ›››
