EVER WANTED SOMETHING MORE?
Ever thought there could be a better way to live, free from the shackles of the old, tired world?
Our High-Rise development is the culmination of a lifetimes work by esteemed architect Anthony Royal.
It has 40 floors of luxury apartments filled with every modern convince.
Onsite we have a fully stocked super-market, gym facilities, swimming pool, spa and school, there is almost no reason to leave.
High-Rise is an adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s novel of the same name. The film centers on a new residential tower built on the eve of Margaret Thatcher’s rise to power, at the site of what will soon become the world’s financial hub. Designed as a luxurious solution to the problems of the city, it is a world apart.
Enter Robert Laing (Hiddleston), a young doctor seduced by the high-rise and its creator, the visionary architect Anthony Royal (Irons). Laing discovers a world of complex loyalties, and also strikes up a relationship with Royal’s devoted aide Charlotte (Miller).
But rot has set in beneath the flawless surface. Sensing discord amongst the tenants, Laing meets Wilder, a charismatic provocateur bent on inciting the situation. Wilder initiates Laing into the hidden life of the high-rise and Laing is shocked at what he sees. As the residents break into tribal factions, Laing finds himself in the middle of mounting violence. Violence that he also finds emerging in himself.
High-Rise will open in theaters in 2016.
