New Poster : Sleeping Beauty (Julia Leigh) ft. Emily Browning, Michael Dorman, Mirrah Foulkes, Rachael Blake



Director: Julia Leigh
Screenwriter: Julia Leigh
Starring: Emily Browning, Michael Dorman, Mirrah Foulkes, Rachael Blake
Genre: Drama

Plot Summary: "Sleeping Beauty" is a haunting erotic fairytale about Lucy, a young university student drawn into a hidden world of beauty & desire.


With this poster, the Julia Leigh film Sleeping Beauty continues to look like the arthouse alternate-reality Sucker Punch. Emily Browning stars in the movie as a student who becomes a prostitute specializing in an unusual service: she ‘works’ while drugged into slumber, and cannot remember her clients after they take advantage of her. The poster is a little bit American Apparel, a little bit Sofia Coppola, and quite pretty, but combined with the known plot and the look on Emily Browning’s face, there’s an uncomfortable undercurrent there, too. The trailer (embedded again below) is equally gorgeous and unsettling. Both are after the break.
