New clip of Christoph Waltz’s directorial debut ‘Georgetown’ with Vanessa Redgrave and Annette Bening
Vertical Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment have released a new clip of Georgetown, the feature directorial debut of two-time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained).
In the clip, which stars Waltz, Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave (Julia) and Academy Award nominee Annette Bening (American Beauty), Waltz announcing his surprise engagement to Redgrave, much to the shock and dismay of Bening.
Georgetown is a true crime story filled with twists, turns, and political turmoil with Waltz starring as Ulrich Mott, an eccentric and smooth-talking social climber who seems to have everyone in Washington, D.C. wrapped around his finger. When his wealthy, well-connected and much older wife (Redgrave) turns up dead in their home, her daughter Amanda (Bening) suspects Ulrich may not be all that he seems as the police investigation begins to uncover a larger deception that goes far deeper than anyone ever imagined.
The film was released in select theaters by Vertical Entertainment on May 14 and will be available on Video-On-Demand and for purchase from Paramount Home Entertainment on Digital beginning May 18, 2021.
