Vertical has released the trailer for “The New Boy,” an upcoming Australian spiritual drama set for a U.S. release. The film is directed by Warwick Thornton and stars two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, alongside Aswan Reid, Deborah Mailman, and Wayne Blair.
Check out the film’s official plot synopsis: When an Aboriginal child arrives in the dead of night at a remote monastery run by a renegade nun (Cate Blanchett) in 1940s Australia, the new boy’s presence disturbs a delicately balanced world in this story of tradition and the cost of survival.
After premiering in Australian theaters in July 2023, the film is set to arrive in select U.S. theaters on May 23, with its video-on-demand release scheduled for May 30.
