Tom Hiddleston’s already on top of the world with his success in films, but the trailer for his latest film, HIGH-RISE, puts him right at the top of a very tall building – and in some scenes he is naked!
Based on the 1975 novel of the same name by J.G. Ballard, HIGH-RISE tells the tale of a young doctor, Robert Laing, who finds himself utterly seduced by the lifestyle in a very swanky high-rise apartment building.
Two miles west of London, Dr. Robert Laing moves into his new apartment seeking soulless anonymity, only to find that the building’s residents have no intention of leaving him alone. Resigned to the complex social dynamics unfolding around him, Laing bites the bullet and becomes neighbourly. As he struggles to establish his position, Laing’s good manners and sanity disintegrate along with the building. The lights go out and the lifts fail but the party goes on. People are the problem. Booze is the currency. Sex is the panacea. Only much later, as he sits on his balcony eating the architect’s dog, does Dr. Robert Laing finally feel at home…..
Adapted from J.G. Ballard’s visionary novel by screenwriter Amy Jump, HIGH – RISE stars Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans, Elisabeth Moss.
