Yahoo News First trailer for major Oscar contender The Brutalist
The Brutalist, the new film starring Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones, has unveiled its first full-length trailer.
The epic historical drama, which is expected to be a major contender throughout awards season, follows László Tóth (Brody), a Holocaust survivor and architect who relocates to the US in search of the American dream.
Residing in Philadelphia, László and his wife, Erzsébet (Jones), come into contact with the wealthy businessman Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce), who offers him an exciting opportunity. Soon, however, László discovers that “power and legacy come at a heavy cost.”

The stacked cast for the project, which is directed by Brady Corbet (The Childhood of a Leader, Vox Lux), also includes Joe Alwyn, Stacy Martin, Raffey Cassidy, Emma Laird and Alessandro Nivola.
The epic, which runs for a whopping 215 minutes, received critical acclaim upon its premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival back in September, with its success continuing onto the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, where it received seven nominations including Best Picture – Drama.
Jones, who received an Academy Award nomination for her role in The Theory of Everything, recently spoke with Vanity Fair about her role in The Brutalist, praising Corbet and co-writer Mona Fastvold for bringing an “authenticity” to the project.

“First of all, you thought [the film] was based on real people, because it had such a feeling of authenticity about it, and it had all these wonderful technical aspects to it,” remarked Jones, who has also starred in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
“Even at the level of reading the script, it felt as though Brady and Mona had written something that was really pushing the conventions of cinema. It feels like audiences are really luxuriating and enjoying something that is so committed to being long-form. I mean, it feels so novel in its nostalgia for cinema in some ways.”
The Brutalist is in cinemas on December 20 in the US and January 24, 2025 in the UK.
