Watch the New Trailer for Ben Wheatley’s HIGH-RISE, Starring Tom Hiddleston

Over 40 years after its initial publication, J. G. Ballard's brilliant novel High-Rise has been adapted for the big screen. A new trailer for the Ben Wheatley film has arrived from Magnet Releasing, teasing close quarters combat, stylish parties, and Tom Hiddleston as Dr. Robert Laing.

"High-Rise stars Hiddleston as Dr. Robert Laing, the newest resident of a luxurious apartment in a high-tech concrete skyscraper whose lofty location places him amongst the upper class. Laing quickly settles into high society life and meets the building’s eccentric tenants: Charlotte (Miller), his upstairs neighbor and bohemian single mother; Wilder (Evans), a charismatic documentarian who lives with his pregnant wife Helen (Moss); and Mr. Royal (Irons), the enigmatic architect who designed the building. Life seems like paradise to the solitude-seeking Laing. But as power outages become more frequent and building flaws emerge, particularly on the lower floors, the regimented social strata begins to crumble and the building becomes a battlefield in a literal class war."

Directed by Ben Wheatley (Kill List, Sightseers) and adapted for the screen by Amy Jump, High-Rise stars Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans, and Elizabeth Moss. High-Rise will be released on iTunes, Amazon Video, and VOD on April 28th, followed by a May 13th US theatrical release.
