Emma Watson and Daniel Brühl’s thriller Colonia is being released as The Colony in the UK. The film is in theaters and On Demand July 1. View the new trailer below.
Set amidst the Chilean coup of 1973, The Colony begins by depicting the masses who are out on the street, protesting against General Pinochet. Amongst them are Daniel (Daniel Brühl) and Lena (Emma Watson), a young couple who, like many others, get arrested by Pinochet’s secret police for producing propaganda against the regime. Following his arrest, Daniel finds himself trapped in a secret interrogation camp located beneath the infamous Colonia Dignidad; a German sect under the leadership of the notorious, charismatic and unflinching Paul Schäfer (Michael Nyqvist). Presenting itself as a charitable mission, the Colonia is in fact a place of brutality and terror that nobody has ever escaped from. Desperate to rescue her boyfriend, Lena infiltrates the cult and witnesses the true darkness of Schäfer’s regime before she attempts a dramatic escape that puts both their lives on the line.
Emma seems to be somewhat interested in Politics and problems pertaining thereto: Does she have an opinion on what is called “Brexit”?
Strange decision to change the title. Still at least the DVD won’t be far off after then.
Nice,I can’t wait for this one.
