Patrick Stewart sheds his Star Trek and X-Men heroic
and fatherly figure in Jeremy Saulnier's (Blue Ruin) upcoming horror-thriller
Green Room where he plays a neo-Nazi club owner who traps a punk band in the
green room after they witness something they shouldn't have.
Opening on April 15 in New York and L.A. before
opening wide on April 17, Green Room also stars Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots,
Alia Shawkat, Joe Cole, Mark Webber, Callum Turner, Eric Edelstein, Macon
Blair, and Kai Lennox.
Green Room is a brilliantly crafted and wickedly
fun horror-thriller starring Patrick Stewart as a diabolical club owner who
squares off against an unsuspecting but resilient young punk band.
Down on their luck punk rockers The Ain’t Rights are
finishing up a long and unsuccessful tour, and are about to call it quits when
they get an unexpected booking at an isolated, run-down club deep in the
backwoods of Oregon. What seems merely to be a third-rate gig escalates
into something much more sinister when they witness an act of violence
backstage that they weren’t meant to see. Now trapped backstage, they
must face off against the club’s depraved owner, Darcy Banker (Stewart), a man
who will do anything to protect the secrets of his nefarious enterprise.
But while Darcy and his henchmen think the band will be easy to get rid of, The
Ain’t Rights prove themselves much more cunning and capable than anyone
expected, turning the tables on their unsuspecting captors and setting the
stage for the ultimate life-or-death showdown.
Intense, emotional, and ingeniously twisted, Green Room is genre filmmaking at its best and most original. Saulnier continues to build his reputation as one of the most exciting and distinctive directors working today, with a movie that’s completely different from his previous, highly acclaimed Blue Ruin, but which is just as risk-taking and even more full of twists. The entire cast deliver first-rate performances, but Patrick Stewart gives a transformative and brilliantly devious turn as Darcy—elegant yet lethal, droll yet terrifying, Stewart makes the film simply unforgettable.
