Set in a Puritan colony in the 1640’s, a nineteen-year-old Hester Prynne, whose older husband has been missing for three years, has an adulterous affair with the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale. When Hester Prynne is discovered pregnant, she chooses not to reveal the father but rather bears the punishment herself. Yet, when her husband, Roger Chillingworth, returns from the wilderness to see her standing in shame before the town, he is determined to discover who the father is and psychologically torment him. Only by finding forgiveness from God can Arthur and Hester overcome the retribution and oppression that their sin and their society have cast upon them.
Directed by Elizabeth Berry. Produced by Stephen Berry.
Starring Molly Wilson, Kevin Wegner, John Risner, Michael Adragna, Olivia Jammer, and Mark Rios.
Soundtrack composed by Josué DeJesús.

The fact that everyone in this trailer is wearing trendy floppy hats is really throwing me off

[@youngfadula]

It does look like a high school production

[@pennyculliton378]

I haven't seen the whole film, but 90% of the dialogue here is not found in the novel. And there is NO reason to re-write Nathaniel Hawthorne, other than maybe to change a "thee" to a "you."

[@leahrenz2113]

I agree that pretty much all the sections between Hester and Arthur Dimmesdale (which make up maybe half of the trailer) are not in the book and Hester's comment about being just a 16yr old girl is also nowhere to be found, but the trailer did include some direct quotes, memorably "This child must take a heavenly father, she will never know an earthly one." and the exchange between Hester and Roger Chillingworth ("the man lives who has wronged us both etc")

[@xx_owo_xx102]

Yeah they basically rewrote Hawthorne's book for a movie. Seriously the other films for "The Scarlet Letter" is better because they actually go by the book! I think it's an outrage that they decided to say death is the penalty.

[@ericcoleman9309]

After spending the last six months studying this book in college, I can't wait to see this film adaption. The world needs it. The characters are well cast, and the script well delivered! Just watching the trailer gave me shivers. Will definitely be waiting for the full release!

[@smc_sniper1090]

wow eric, thats a REEL nice fact you got there . ;)

[@zitoonaful]

I studied this at University years ago, and I remembered it suddenly and come to see the film!

[@sassyrobin420]

Good grief the book isn’t that long. LOL Plus the 1995 movie Adaption w/ Gary Oldman & Demi Moore is an excellent film. This one looks like a cheap high school production.

[@luciavillalta]

Whenever I listen to her saying those lines, I can't feel the real passion of an actress, it just seems that she is reading the script as she is trying to imitate a bad english accent, love the book but this girl doesn't make me want to watch the movie... :( okay, it looks like a high school production...

Very faithful to Hawthorne's text, at any rate - as is my opera on the subject!

[@SoulShines4Music]

This looks even worse than the 1995 version with Demi Moore. At least Gary Oldman was in that one and made it somewhat watchable.

[@elrond3737]

yes but you can't show that one in a 10th grade class.

[@beverlybrooks2736]

1979 WGBH 4 hour production, John Heard, Meg Foster, Kevin Conway is by far the best. Faultlessly faithful to the book and all the principals perfect.

Wow, I'm actually really excited for this. Especially if it's going to be an accurate adaptation from the book . . . I have high hopes for this film.

Excuse me, but this is not about the original Scarlet Letter history, is about a something which have no critical sense. Read the book and you will understand what I talking about.

[@مرتضىالعراقي-م6ت]

Need it her Arabic in order to understand. Please

[@noro67]

Hmm... I just finished the book last night and already I see that they cast a young man as Hester's husband, which is wrong. He was very old and deformed, which in the book, explains part of the reason for her affair. He also was never violent with her; he was an intelIect. I guess that's the director's way of showing his evilness for today's sensibilities. I am an avid reader and have seen very few movies that are truly faithful to the book it is based on. Directors tend to take too much artistic license in regards to literature.

[@lionelagarde]

I'm very surprised of the fact that US directors are unable to render the content and form of the book. The classic by Hawthorne written middle of XIXth c. is often assessed to be tied to gothic novel and spirit. The movie should be shot in monochrome with special effects of colors : range of reds, green, gold, with very deep black background. The issue is persecution and stigma, loneliness and isolation. I think the style should have seen the one used by the Czech Otakar Vavra in the movie of 1969 about witch hunt called "Witchhammer". Failure of US cinema in this case is an enigma for me. It's not a love story, it's about excess of religious and ideological dogmatism and puritanism and the treatment of damnation, a typical trend at the roots of American worldview.

An animated movie or series would be miles better than any live action film that’s been made for this book.

[@siirijulian8314]

The PBS (WGBH Boston video) with Meg Foster and John Heard is so much better than either this one or the Demi Moore. It is faithful to the text--but the film is LONG (4 hours), and the film makers are serious about Hawthorne's motifs of light and dark, so if your room is not completely dark, it can be hard to watch. Also--thee producers and directors spent a lot of time researching for film so that this "feels" like a colonial Boston with individuals who wear the same clothes for months at a time.

+Risen Light Films is it accurate to the book

[@RisenLightFilms]

We have attempted to keep it accurate both historically and in relation to Hawthorne's novel. Much of the dialogue comes straight from the book.

[@redjuice02]

it strays a lot in that her husband is supposed to be MUCH older than her, which is quite important to the book. We had a lecture on the arranged marriage and his age in my college English lit class, so this is pretty off.

[@RisenLightFilms]

There is a significant age gap between Roger and Hester in the film. We cast actors whose ages matched with when Hester was caught, so when the story jumps forward seven years they naturally look younger than the story describes.

[@pennyculliton378]

The "never know" scene takes place when Pearl is three months old, not at the end of the book, 7 years later. You got it wrong. The book also does not deal with Hester's being "caught."

Hawthorne was a moral and sentimental writer of the early nineteenth century. He wrote during an era when references to human sexuality were made with only the subtlest and chastest of hints. This movie is true to the book and I personally am very glad. A great big thank you to the director and producers of this fine film. I've been waiting for a close adaptation since I read the book at age 11- fifty years ago.
