Is Olivia Colman gunning for another Oscar with her new film, "Empire of Light"? It certainly seems that way from the film's first trailer, which was released on Aug. 24. Colman appears in the Fox Searchlight film alongside actor Micheal Ward. Here's a look at the movie: "Empire of Light," set in an English seaside town in the early 1980s, is a moving and poignant tale about human connection and cinema's magic of cinema, based on Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes' "Empire of Light." Oscar watchers know there's nothing more beloved by the Academy than watching movies that honor movies. Ward, on the other hand, is most recognisable for his role in "Top Boy." He appeared in "Small Axe: Lovers Rock" and "The Old Guard" in 2020. In addition, the trailer gives viewers a look at Colin Firth and Toby Jones in the film. The trailer features wide shots of a mostly empty cinema called Empire. Colman and Ward's characters spend a lot of time together, even holding hands on a bus ride. They watch fireworks from the roof of a movie theater in another shot.
