Warner Bros. Pictures has released the HBO first look for their upcoming drama film adaptation of The Goldfinch, with a star-studded ensemble led by Ansel Elgort (Baby Driver) as Theo Decker and Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman (The Hours, Big Little Lies) as Mrs. Barbour.

Theodore “Theo” Decker was 13 years old when his mother was killed in a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The tragedy changes the course of his life, sending him on a stirring odyssey of grief and guilt, reinvention and redemption, and even love. Through it all, he holds on to one tangible piece of hope from that terrible day…a painting of a tiny bird chained to its perch. The Goldfinch.

The Goldfinch is directed by BAFTA Award winner John Crowley (Brooklyn). It is produced by Nina Jacobson (The Hunger Games films, American Crime Story) and Brad Simpson (World War Z, American Crime Story) under their Color Force banner. Mari Jo Winkler-Ioffreda and Sue Kroll are serving as executive producers. The screenplay is written by Oscar nominee Peter Straughan (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), based on the book by Donna Tartt, which spent 30 weeks on The New York Times Best Sellers list.

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes multiple Oscar-nominated director of photography Roger Deakins (Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, Unbroken), Oscar-nominated production designer K.K. Barrett (Her), costume designer Kasia Walicka Maimone (Bridge of Spies, upcoming Ready Player One), and editor Kelley Dixon (Breaking Bad).
