The Wild Eric Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 https://deadline.com/2018/11/the-good-liar-release-date-ian-mckellen-helen-mirren-bill-condon-warner-bros-1202502323/ Quote Warner Bros has set a November 15, 2019, release date for The Good Liar, director Bill Condon’s drama starring English screen vets Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren. Scripted by Jeffrey Hatcher based on the novel by pseudonymous author Nicholas Searle, it focuses on Roy (McKellen), a veteran conman and born liar who meets wealthy widow Betty (Mirren) online and believes she’s an easy mark. Roy is sure he can pull off the final coup of his career, but as the narrative entwines Roy’s and Betty’s futures, it also delves deeply into their pasts, revealing nearly a century of secrets. Before Roy can close the deal, there is a reckoning to be made. Russell Tovey, Jim Carter, Mark Lewis Jones and Laurie Davidson co-star. The Good Liar will face off a year from now against Universal holiday rom-com Last Christmas, Fox’s untitled Kingsman threequel and Warners’ own Melissa McCarthy holiday comedy Margie Claus.

ThePhasmid Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Gods and Monsters is a favorite of mine. I relatively enjoyed Kinsey and Mr. Holmes, but this looks like an excellent mystery thriller. I am interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB33 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Not much talk about this one. I'm definitely seeing it. If not next weekend then definitely on Tuesday. Anyone else? Watching Sir Ian McKellan and Helen Mirren work together should be a treat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have other film priorities, but I'd certainly love to see this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I agree with others who've said this movie could have really benefited from opening in a less crowded period on the calendar. Ironically though, for how crowded it is a lot of films this month seem to be calendar filler, so TGL might actually be propped up a bit as a result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 It's a decent thriller if a bit hokey. Worth watching to see Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren act together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGlass2 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 It has decent reviews after all. The Downtown Abbey crew could go crazy for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB33 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Sounds like even the negative reviews feature praise for McKellan and Mirren. Not surprised. Those two have sold the movie to me from Day 1. Unfortunately it's yet another movie not making it to my town so I have to wait for streaming. Sigh. Already missing Calgary.

JB33 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Hoo boy, did I ever overestimate this. I had it doing just under $10M for the weekend. Not going to happen after an estimated $1.635M Friday. Has anyone here seen it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was wild and fun, but kind of ridiculous. It kept taking different turns and there were a ton of plot holes. The ending was obvious after 5 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB33 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 This ended up having a good hold this past weekend: $3.4M for a 39.3% drop. Too bad it had such a small opening to begin with though. Also it looks like I may get to see it after all at my small local theatre. They didn't bring it in when it opened but randomly it will be showing there starting Friday.
