Excerpts from the Official Trailer Struggle for Survival: Willem Dafoe’s Lonely Struggle
In the first scene, Nemo commits a heist at a penthouse in order to steal numerous priceless paintings. Despite his best efforts, he is unable to gain admission to the house before it locks, ultimately locking him within.
Nemo cries for rescue, but no one hears him. He’s starting to struggle mentally as a result of his seclusion. Check out the exact release date for this show down below.
Storyline of Inside
Even if we have to endure a film that is relentlessly tense, we have Willem Dafoe to look forward to. The indie film, directed by Greek filmmaker Vasilis Katsoupis, follows Nemo, a seasoned art thief, as he attempts to pull off a heist at a luxury and high-tech penthouse near Times Square in New York City.
When the heist fails, Nemo is left stranded in the flat with no food or water (art cannot be eaten), forcing him to rely on his wits and determination to survive. Bring it on, Bee Gees.
It is up to Nemo’s resourcefulness and creativity to ensure his own existence
According to the official synopsis, “INSIDE tells the story of Nemo, an art thief who is imprisoned in a New York penthouse after his heist goes wrong.” After being trapped inside with nothing but priceless works of art, he will need to use all of his knowledge and creativity to find a way out.”
Fans are excited to see Willem Dafoe in the standalone drama because he has already impressed them. “Movies with Willem Dafoe acting nutty are my favorite,” one fan said.
“Willem Dafoe definitely understands how to represent each of his on-screen personalities with fascinating and building tension,” said another critic, “and it appears that his acting skills have no bounds.”
Casting
Inside appears to be a one-man show at this point. Have you ever seen the film Castaway? That kind of thing. Another instance of Willem Dafoe’s gradual mental unravelling is in the film. Our preferred genre of music.
Insiders Involved in the Production
Although Willem Dafoe is the film’s main attraction, Gene Bervoets, Eliza Stuyck, and Josia Krug all play important roles. Inside was created by Giorgos Karnavas, Marcos Kantis, and Dries Phlypo of Heretic Productions. The script was written by Ben Hopkins, who also wrote the screenplays for Limonov: The Ballad of Eddie and The Nine Lives of Thomas Katz.
“With ‘Inside,’ Focus continues our commitment to first-time and international filmmakers,” Karnavas explained. Vasilis’ short film is visually striking and thoughtful because it deals with a feeling we’ve all grown accustomed to loneliness.”
Expected Release Date
Willem Dafoe’s long-awaited solo film, Inside, will be released on March 10, 2023. Put it on your calendars now, and don’t blame us later!
