Saltburn, the sophomore feature of Emerald Fennel after her Oscar-winning directorial debut Promising Young Women, will get its premiere when it opens the event October 4 at London’s Royal Festival Hall.

Starring Oscar nominee Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, Alison Oliver, Archie Madekwe and Carey Mulligan, it is likened to The Talented Mr. Ripley.

The film is described by festival organizers as a “beautifully wicked tale of privilege and desire.” Set in the mid-2000s, the story follows student Oliver (Keoghan) who, struggling to find his place at Oxford University, finds himself drawn into the world of the charming and aristocratic Felix Catton (Elordi), who invites him to Saltburn, his eccentric family’s sprawling estate, for a summer never to be forgotten.

Amazon Studios and MGM will release the film, which comes from MRC and Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment (Robbie produces, as she did on Promising Young Woman), in cinemas Nov. 24.

“I’m honored that our film will open this year’s BFI London Film Festival,” said Fennell, who won both the best original screenplay Oscar and BAFTA for Promising Young Woman, and can currently be seen starring alongside Robbie in Barbie. “It is a festival that inspired me so much growing up, one that I followed excitedly from my bedroom on the other side of London. It feels extra-special that Saltburn, this very British tale of excess, is able to make its international debut at the wonderful BFI.”
