Movie Preview: Ben Kingsley makes a scary overture to “William Tell”

Switzerland’s mythic hero, subject of a Frederich Schiller play nobody produces and Rossini opera nobody presents and yet whose overture is one of the most famous warhorses (classics everybody knows) in classical music, gets another Swiss “Robin Hood” style film treatment (he’s been the subject of TV series as well), with Kingsley the villain and Claes Bang in the title role.

Golshifteh Farahani, Emily Beechum, Rafe Spall, Ellie Bamber and Jonathan Pryce also star.

Looks like the release date of this Swiss epic is early 2025.
