I have no idea what the synopsis is, and Malick probably doesn&#8217;t either, but the trailer looks intriguing and Christian Bale is taking the lead as a man named Rick. Let\u2019s check out the summary on IMDb:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce there was a young prince whose father, the king of the East, sent him down into Egypt to find a pearl. But when the prince arrived, the people poured him a cup. Drinking it, he forgot he was the son of a king, forgot about the pearl and fell into a deep sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that doesn\u2019t help too much. That piece right there is supposed to be a story that Rick\u2019s father used to tell him as a boy. I\u2019m guessing Rick might have been confused by this story.<\/p>\n<p>It has a very promising cast, including Natalie Portman, Cate Blanchett, Imogen Poots, Ben Kingsley, Antonio Banderas, and Jason Clarke. It seems as though Bale is playing a burnt out actor trying to find his true self, roaming Hollywood with an empty soul. From the trailer, Rick is going for a dive into some modern version of Mr. Toad\u2019s Wild Ride. This may also be a film about Bruce Wayne\u2019s life after <i>The Dark Knight Rises<\/i>. I can keep guessing here, but the bottom line is that the trailer is effective in making the film seem interesting without giving away much of anything.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"702\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bC-3rnv_b3o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The trailer itself almost plays out like a short film on its own. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see what Malick has in store for us this time. At the very least we\u2019ll get treated to some amazing visuals. Anyways, in a world ruled by social media, once in a while it\u2019s nice to have a trailer where the story is under wraps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So Terrence Malick has a new film coming out in 2015 called Knight of Cups, and the first trailer has been released.
