The director’s Austin-set new film stars Ryan Gosling, Natal­ie Port­man and Michael Fassbender.

Con­sid­er­ing Knight of Cups placed in the top five our our best films of 2016 round up, it’s safe to say that Ter­rence Malick’s next film is up there among our most antic­i­pat­ed of this year.

Pre­vi­ous­ly titled Weight­less, Song to Song is third fea­ture-length project from the lat­ter­ly pro­lif­ic direc­tor to receive a the­atri­cal release with­in the past 12 months. Filmed in 2011 back to back with Knight of Cups, the film cen­tres on an A&R scout on the search for fresh tal­ent in Austin’s leg­endary rock scene. Nat­u­ral­ly, this is mere­ly a back­drop for a dra­ma con­cern­ing two inter­sect­ing love triangles.

Michael Fass­ben­der stars as said music exec in an impres­sive that also includes Rooney Mara, Ryan Gosling, Cate Blanchett, Beni­cio Del Toro, Haley Ben­nett, Chris­t­ian Bale and Natal­ie Port­man – though as ever with Mal­ick it’s unclear exact­ly who has made the final cut. At least we won’t have to wait too long to find out, with a report from Indiewire con­firm­ing that Song to Song will hit the­atres in the US on 17 March.

No UK release has been announced yet, but we’re bank­ing on the film turn­ing up at the Berlin Film Fes­ti­val next month. Keep an eye out for our first-look review then.
