by Darian Scalamoni

    It's been three years since we saw Emerald Fennell's directorial debut, Promising Young Woman garner five Oscar nominations, including a win for Best Original Screenplay for Fennell's script. Now, her long awaited follow-up has a release date.

    Saltburn is produced by Amazon Studios and while the logline is under wraps, we do know that Fennell will reunite with the star of Promising Young Woman in Carey Mulligan for the film. Additionally, Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), Jacob Elordi (Euphoria), Barry Keoghan (The Banshees of Inisherin) and Richard E. Grant (Loki) will star as well in the drama that has been given a limited release date of November 24 before expanding wide on December 1. 

    There is additional speculation that the movie will premiere at the Telluride Film Festival which runs from August 31-September 4 this year. Amazon is said to be pleased with the outcome of Saltburn and it's expected to be in the thick of the awards race this year, giving the streamer another potential critical hit alongside Ben Affleck's Air.
