New Terrence Malick Film 'Knight Of Cups' Set For Berlin Festival Premiere

The Terrence Malick film Knight of Cups was announced back in 2011, just months after the premiere of The Tree of Life, which at the time was his first film in six years. It has taken a few years for the film to arrive; he released To the Wonder in the meantime, and has also been working on a movie originally called Lawless, and which is currently untitled. Now the Knight of Cups premiere is now set to take place at the Berlin Film Festival in February 2015. Also premiering at the festival will be Kenneth Branagh's Cinderella.

All we know about Knight of Cups is the cast, which features Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, Cate Blanchett, Isabel Lucas, Teresa Palmer, and Frieda Pinto among others. (It isn't the film for which Malick was shooting at Austin music festivals in 2012; that's the movie formerly called Lawless.) And even with the three-year wait since its announcement, the arrival of this movie in 2015 still represents a smaller interval than usually exists between Malick movies. 

Here's the announced lineup for the 65th annual Berlin Film Festival, which begins on February 15. [Variety]
