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

By Russ Fischer/Dec. 15, 2014 7:30 am EST

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]
