“The people who come here want to live, Ian. You – on the other hand – only want to play Hamlet.” Focus Features has revealed the first official trailer for the LGBTQ indie drama Elsinore, the story of actor Ian Charleson. Directed by fellow actor Simon Stone, this film premiered at the 2026 Telluride Film Festival earlier this month and also played at TIFF, with debuts at London, Mill Valley, Montclair, Chicago, and AFI Fest coming up soon. A powerful, deeply moving and inspiring story of the actor Ian Charleson who faced incredible odds and a tragic AIDS diagnosis while preparing to give the performance of his life in Hamlet at the National Theatre in London. TIFF adds: “Andrew Scott delivers a career-best performance in Elsinore, wondrously celebrating both Charleson and Hamlet on screen. Through Scott, each real and fictional man’s confrontation with death becomes visceral, profoundly moving, and resoundingly answers Shakespeare’s famed question with ‘to be.'” Andrew Scott stars with Olivia Colman, Billie Piper, Johnny Flynn, Joe Locke, Peter Mullan, Charles Edwards, and Juliet Stevenson. This is all so similar to Ira Sachs’ film The Man I Love also this year. Will Andrew Scott win an Oscar playing this role? Watch & find out this fall. // Continue Reading ›
