George Miller Is Back with a Psychedelic Genie in First Three Thousand Years of Longing Trailer

George Miller’s first post-Mad Max: Fury Road project, Three Thousand Years of Longing breaks away from the filmmaker’s signature franchise (and his other signature franchise, Babe). It’s adapting A.S. Byatt’s short story “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye” and using Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba as its vehicles. And it all looks downright staggering.

Swinton plays Alithea, who recounts a fantastical (yet, she assures us, true) tale: She totally finds a genie (Elba) in a bottle. You want some psychedelia in imagery and sound? You want over-the-top character design? You want some color? Ol’ George has got you covered in the first trailer.
