Western drama series "The English", starring Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer, will start streaming on Prime Video from November 11.
According to a press release issued by the streaming platform, all six episodes of the limited series will be released together.
"The English" will make its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival as their series special presentation on October 15.
The series is a co-production with Amazon Studios and BBC, in association with All3Media International.
Billed as an "epic chase Western", the show hails from writer and director Hugo Blick.
The series takes the core themes of identity and revenge to tell a uniquely compelling parable on race, power, and love.
"An aristocratic Englishwoman, Lady Cornelia Locke (Blunt), and a Pawnee ex-cavalry scout, Eli Whipp (Spencer), come together in 1890 middle America to cross a violent landscape built on dreams and blood. Both of them have a clear sense of their destiny, but neither is aware that it is rooted in a shared past," the plotline reads.
nyone trying to slot Hong Kong filmmaker Ann Hui into a particular genre will be at a loss, for all through her 45 year-long career, she has moved easily between varied spaces, from independent cinema to the mainstream, from personal films to a bit of action too. For that matter, she has made a horror film too. Ask her about it and the 77-year old, who was conferred with the 29th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK)‘s Lifetime achievement award, says with disarming candour that she was just trying to see what she was good at.
