A new TV spot forWidowshas landed online, further revealing one of the most highly anticipated films of the year. Co-written byGillian Flynn(Gone Girl) and directed bySteve McQueen(12 Years a Slave), the film tells the story of four women who must execute a heist in order to pay off the debt their deceased husbands incurred and weren’t able to deliver in a previous heist. Furthermore, the women have to pull off the heist while both the law and criminals are bearing down on them.
The first trailer arrived earlier this month, and this TV spot does a great job of further accentuating the incredible cast andSean Bobbitt’s arresting cinematography. Indeed, it’s been far too long since we’ve seen anything from McQueen, whose last film was the Best Picture-winning12 Years a Slave. His range from that historical drama toShametoHungeris impeccable, maintaining an intense character focus regardless of genre or setting, and I can’t wait to see his talents put on display in a heist thriller.
