1ST MOVIE IMAGES FROM DANCE FIRST WITH GABRIEL BYRNE, AIDAN GILLEN, MAXINE PEAKE, DYSTOPIAN DRAMA BEAST WITH LEA SEYDOUX, GEORGE MACKAY, WW2 FILM IRENA'S VOW WITH DOUGRAY SCOTT

 FIRST MOVIE IMAGES FROM 
DANCE FIRST BIOPIC
A bunch of new movie images for you today, starting with Gabriel Byrne as Samuel Beckett in DANCE FIRST biopic on the Waiting for Godot writer. With him as the famous Irish playwright, Aidan Gillen plays James Joyce. Maxine Peake also stars and Sandrine Bonnaire too as his wife. The story covers various phases in Beckett’s life from Parisian bon vivant, to World War II Resistance fighter, Nobel Prize-winning playwright, philandering husband and recluse. Its focus, however, is on Beckett’s reaction to winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969, which was a turning point in his life as he grappled with his own inner demons. 

DYSTOPIAN THE BEAST
We also have first photos from Venice Film Festival dystopian romance THE BEAST from Bertrand Bonello set in a near future where artificial intelligence reigns supreme and human emotions have become a threat. Gabrielle (Lea Seydoux), a woman haunted by an irrational fear, is being told that she must purify her DNA to heal from past traumas in order to get a proper job. Through the process, Gabrielle revisits past lives and immerses herself in buried memories from 1910 and 2014, where she reunites with Louis (George MacKay), her great love. While their bond has transcended lifetimes and eras, it’s also at the root of her premonition that something tragic will happen. Beside Venice, the movie will also hit Toronto, New York and London film festivals.

WORLD WAR 2 SET IRENA'S VOW
There are also first two images from World War Two set movie IRENA'S VOW coming from director Louise Archambault and with Dougray Scott in the lead role. The movie will premiere September 10th at Toronto Film Festival following the life of 19-year-old Irena Gut (Sophie Nélisse), a housekeeper at the home of a high-ranking Nazi officer in Poland who hides a dozen Jewish workers in the basement of the German major’s house after she learns that the Jewish ghetto is about to be liquidated. The story is based on the true life of  Polish nurse Irene Gut Opdyke who was awarded the Righteous Among the Nations medal for showing remarkable courage in her attempt to save Polish Jews during World War II.
