All Hail Timothée Chalamet in first trailer for ‘The King’

“I’ve been forced to rely on the council of men whose loyalty I question every day.”
Hal (Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet), wayward prince and reluctant heir to the English throne, has turned his back on royal life and is living among the people. But when his tyrannical father dies, Hal is crowned King Henry V and is forced to embrace the life he had previously tried to escape. Now the young king must navigate the palace politics, chaos and war his father left behind, and the emotional strings of his past life — including his relationship with his closest friend and mentor, the ageing alcoholic knight, John Falstaff (Joel Edgerton).
Directed by David Michôd and co-written by Michôd and Edgerton, The King co-stars Sean Harris, Ben Mendelsohn, Robert Pattinson, and Lily-Rose Depp.
After making its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival next month, Netflix will release The King in theaters the fall before its streaming debut. Here is the first trailer.
