Read between the lies.

Welcome to #TrailerChest, where we’re taking a sneak peek at the brand new trailer for The Good Liar.

Plot’s it all about? Unbelievably, this is the first time that Oscar winner Helen Mirren and Oscar nominee Ian McKellen have shared the big screen, and it looks like they’ve picked the perfect project with which to make their first movie together.

The Good Liar tells the story of McKellen and Mirren as they meet on a first date after connecting online, but before long we see that McKellen is actually a ruthless con artist, chasing after Mirren’s millions, and willing to do literally whatever it takes to achieve his goal.

From the writer of the Oscar-winning The Duchess, and the Oscar-winning director of Chicago, Gods And Monsters, and Dreamgirls, there is some serious clout behind this movie, so don’t be surprised if it gets heavily mentioned come awards season.

Starring: Helen Mirren, Ian McKellen, Russell Tovey

Directed by: Bill Condon

Irish release date: 8 November

Enjoy!
