FIREBRAND Trailer (2024) Alicia Vikander, Jude Law

[@alexjurchescu4833]

This is the best trailer I have seen in years. Couldn't even recognize Jude Law. Had to watch it twice.

[@margaretforsey7763]

I didn’t recognize him, either!

[@mitzifountain4274]

Same!

[@keelahrose]

SAME!! Even though his name is in the title, it took me like 90 seconds to realize he was Henry!

[@lovepet4565]

Hes getting older lol can play these parts

[@GH-fb9dh]

Jude looks amazing! Every good actor needs their breaking “ugly role”

[@christiannachel2710]

Finally an accurate depiction of Henry in all his ruthlessness that doesn't romanticize him.

[@mnomadvfx]

No, it's just romanticizing someone else instead to make the story more interesting. It's the same thing with any historical Hollywood fare, they pump up the protagonist by cutting everyone else off at the knees, regardless of whether they deserve it or not. The black female NASA computer staff historical film Hidden Figures is a classic example - woefully inaccurate even to the autobiographical novel the film is based on, let alone the overall historical accounts of NASA and IBM which are both defamed up the wazoo to make the 3 protagonists look more interesting and underdog like.

[@jacklhisc]

Check out the TV series Wolf Hall, another unflattering depiction of Henry

[@slytheringingerwitch]

You mean when he romantically had Anne Boleyn's head sliced off with a sword or Catherine Howard's cute execution by axe? So glad it'ss not like that.

[@DCI-Frank-Burnside]

A lot of historians say he was an awkward, insecure man who lacked presence, which he overcompensated for through image management (see the famous Holbein painting). I think the reason he is such a focal point for British historians is that he is the historical figure that is seen as ushering in the early modern period.

[@ChuckTheMystery]

Alicia Vikander is one of the rare actresses who can make you feel every emotion with just a single look. When watching The Danish Girl you felt sadness and sometimes even joy from her. With Ex Machina you felt fear of what she might do next. Even with Tomb Raider, you felt her adrenaline which led to excitement. In Tulip Fever you questioned her every move and motive but somehow still wanted her to win..and on and on. Firebrand may just put her on that Oscar stage yet again!

[@belly.g.r]

She is so underrated.

[@adrian102]

Hey! She’s my favorite actress not yours! Lmao

[@BadFluffy]

True. She can make you feel bored with one look, and her only facial expression

[@ZairaWardrope]

The Light Between Oceans and Submergence are some of my favourites.

[@ChuckTheMystery]

I was looking for him...until ...wow I´m old

[@jamesclarkmaxwell-v2n]

did they dress like that in sweden too?

[@Geo_Babe]

I saw FIREBRAND finally at last in cinemas last night here in LA and my jaw was ON THE FLOOR. I couldn’t believe how incredible these performances were - especially Jude law. I mean this man has given impeccable performances over his 30 year career but this may be the best one yet. The costuming, the music, the tone and general vibe were PERFECT (I am a Tudor historian!) and the love and wisdom poured into this film is astonishing. One of my all time fave films, and I’ve only just seen it. I want to watch over and over! It was ❤❤❤

[@lauriemann]

And you don't think the last third or so blows history out of the water? Most of the movie was reasonably accurate (OK, the usual time compression and likely combination of characters), Agree that most of the vibe was excellent (I'm not a historian but I've read a lot about the Tudors), Minor quibbles that by middle childhood, Edward was already more sickly and serious and should have been cast accordingly and the actress playing Elizabeth seemed too old.

[@LowPlainsDrifter60]

@@lauriemann The film was based on a novel by Elizabeth Freemantle (Queen's Gambit ) & is best descibed as a historical romance rather than historical fact.

[@taylormullen2815]

We love an accurate Henry! His cackle was horrifying. I can't wait to see what Alicia does with this role.

[@vODDEVILISH]

I still remember being fascinated by Catherine Parr when I saw Joely Richardson in The Tudors. Can’t wait to see Alicia Vikander in this role, one of my favorite actresses. Both her and Jude Law look great here!

[@antmagor]

Frankly, I’m amazed there haven’t been more films about Katherin Parr. For me, she remains a figure of constant fascination. On one hand, she is the wife who survived and nearly swayed the king into reforming the church of England. And helped shape Elizabeth. On the other hand, she is the stepmother who betrayed the princess who she loved as a daughter for a man who by today’s standards would be regarded as a pedophile (though honestly that’s what he should’ve been considered even for his time).

[@scribbly2983]

She's known as the survivor but the sad truth is she was dead less than a year and a half after Henry VIII died.

[@patriciahayes2664]

Catherine was betrayed by her husband Thomas Seymour when he started hitting on the teenaged Elizabeth Tudor. Catherine found them embracing and had Elizabeth banished from Sudeley Castle. 🤔

[@renata8979]

That has always seemed so confusing - she was, by all accounts, a smart woman, how could she not see that at least something was off about Thomas Seymour?

[@patriciahayes2664]

@@renata8979 Catherine Parr and Thomas Seymour had planned to be married, but Henry VIII wanted to marry her himself and nobody said no to Henry in that regard. So after Henry died, Thomas and Catherine were free to wed. Thomas was one of the most charming scoundrels around and Catherine was a very human woman. It's more than likely that he fooled her into thinking that his early morning visits to Elizabeth's bedroom was all in good fun until a heavily pregnant Catherine later caught them together in an embrace. She then had Elizabeth removed from Sudeley Castle, where they were living at the time, and sent to live with Sir Anthony Denny at Cheshunt in Hertfordshire. Catherine and Elizabeth never saw each other again.🤔

[@amyrashap5713]

Agree!

[@Collsy100]

Could we please get a whole franchise of these, please? Period accurate clothing, hair, and makeup; a historically accurate portrayal of Henry VIII; the story told from his wife's point of view; a focused, grounded narrative that isn't just about his marriages, but about the politics of his time. I don't care if there would be time skips between films to make them work and some recasting possibly- this is great.

[@lauriemann]

You might want to try to find The Six Wives of Henry VIII, a superb BBC series from the very early '70s starring Keith Michell, followed by an excellent series on Elizabeth starring the great Glenda Jackson. The lighting and costumes were generally off, but the acting, costumes and language were all superb.

[@ScottishDalek]

Glad to see Katherine Parr getting a film made about her, it looks great and I can’t wait to see it!

[@rosierennie5867]

When I saw the thumbnail for this I thought "For gods sakes, another Boleyn film" IM SO GLAD I CLICKED.. We need more media about Catherine Parr, and Henry's other wives: Anne of Cleves and Catherine of Aragon

[@patriciahayes2664]

I'm a Tudor buff and this looks thrilling. There have been so many films about Anne Boleyn and her daughter Elizabeth I that both topics have become threadbare, so it's about time that Catherine Parr should get her own movie because her story is just as taut as those of Anne and Elizabeth.

[@Baelzar]

That's Jude Law?!

It took me half the trailer to realize that was him! WOW!

[@bpure2560]

No it's Ronnie Pickering.

[@keelahrose]

Wow! I barely recognized Jude Law! Even though his name was in the title it took me half the trailer to realize he was Henry. Fantastic job blending into the role. And it's great to finally see Catherine Parr's story told. So many movies, series, etc. focus on the first three wives that we barely ever hear anything about the last three. Nice change of pace! I'll see this one for sure.

I'm a big fan of Joely Richardson in The Tudors, but this looks a lot more historically accurate. Looks cool!

[@bpure2560]

Historically accurate? 😂 Henry was famously ginger and a lot fatter.

[@renata8979]

@user-xb7zj3lo1c she also had no children at that point so there was no excuse to age her up so much in The Tudors) Also, I had a moment of "isn't AV a bit too young?"... and then realized she is 35, just like me)

[@Daniel__Nobre]

I have no hopes for this to be more historically accurate from what the trailer gives away. I actually have no hopes whatsoever that this will have any accuracy at all, at that level. Names of people and places.. maybe some dates and a couple of main events.. But the rest will probably be all fabricated and the characters will behave like modern people, like it happens in 98% of movies today.

Alicia Vikander is my favourite

[@stephieirene1]

There's no way Catherine and Henry spent that much time together in real life. Also, I bet Jude Law loved this role!

[@Daniel__Nobre]

Indeed. This is one of those that claims to be "inspired by real history" but it will be basically 98% fantasy and just modern themes and modern behaviours transposed into that period. I´ll still watch it eventually though, because I love historial movies and both Alicia Vikander and Jude Law are awesome :)

[@Janelane529]

Considering this movie is about when he came back from France after her regency, I'm going to have to disagree with you.

[@ladymoonglow1]

Jude Law has been able to play with a lot of meaty roles over the last decade and a half. You should see him in The Young Pope; he gets to play this incredibly complex character and he does a great job showcasing the dynamics of unconditional power. Perfect practice for Henry!

[@Daniel__Nobre]

I don´t think I have ever seen a trailer trying so hard.. It basically tells the all movie in a couple of minutes. Also every time I see a "Subversive" quote now it really helps me know that it is something to steer away from as much as possible. This movie, despite the amazing actors, seems to be one of those that is basically full-on fantasy disguised as a "true story" (basically Im tired of the Braveheart approach.. History is usually amazing by itself and so much better and interesting than what scriptwriters tend to completely invent and "fetichise" about).

[@lauriemann]

It's important to understand that Catherine Parr WAS subversive, but she was mostly pretty quiet about it. If you saw the movie Elizabeth with Cate Blanchett, there's a scene fairly early in the movie when Mary Tudor was still queen where Elizabeth basically says she's a good Protestant no matter what Mary wanted. So not true. Elizabeth only cared about surviving Mary's reign and behaved as a good Catholic until Mary died. If she hadn't, Elizabeth could have been executed.
