Ezra Miller and Ben Kingsley both portray famed artist Salvador Dalí in the first trailer for the forthcoming biopic Dalíland.
The spot for the film from director Mary Harron (American Psycho) was released Thursday ahead of the film’s release June 9 in theaters and on-demand. Magnolia Pictures nabbed the feature following its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September.
Dalíland centers on a gallery assistant, played by newcomer Christopher Briney, who is tasked with helping Dalí (Kingsley) prepare for a prominent show in the 1970s amid the artist’s tense relationship with his wife, Gala (Barbara Sukowa). Miller portrays a younger version of the Surrealist painter in flashback scenes.
“Death — it frightens me, and this is the basis of my inspiration,” Kingsley says during an emotional moment from the footage.
Rupert Graves, Andreja Pejić and Suki Waterhouse also appear in the movie that has a script from John C. Walsh.

As the Toronto Film Festival comes to its official closing night we say goodbye to the re-energized fest for another year, but not before we say “Hello Dali,” or actually the final world premiere of the festival, Daliland, which picks up the celebrated artist’s life in its later years focusing on the odd relationship between him and his controlling wife. If only this film stuck to that idea and didn’t take a detour into a misbegotten coming-of-age plotline about the young assistant both Dalis take a shine to in their own way.
So it is all set in the mid-1970s at the St. Regis Hotel in New York, where 70-year-old master Dali (Ben Kingsley doing his best impression) and his wife of 50 years, muse, business partner, the very protective and controlling Gala Dali stay for a few months out of the year,...

The 47th Toronto Film Festival on Tuesday selected the Mary Harron-directed Dalíland as its closing-night movie. The pic stars Ben Kingsley as the older Salvador Dalí and Ezra Miller as the younger Dalí. However, the TIFF press release left Miller’s name off the cast credits.
It’s been public knowledge that Miller is in the film. The Flash star this week was charged with felony burglary in Vermont in addition to several other run-ins with the law this year. Deadline learned this morning that Miller has not been cut out of Dalíland.
In a 2021 Cannes Market interview with Deadline, Harron told us: “We started looking at Dalí in the 1970s, the older Dalí, with flashbacks to the younger Dalí, which are rendered like an old movie. That format really excited me. Ezra had like three days between finishing Fantastic Beasts and starting The Flash, and insisted on coming and doing our film.

Cillian Murphy is stocking up on his paint brushes in order to star opposite Al Pacino in Dali & I: The Surreal Story for Room 9 Entertainment. Andrew Niccol is directing while Room 9 partners David O. Sacks, Daniel Brunt and Michael R. Newman produce.
The movie, which will span the 1960s-80s, follows the time in Dali's life when most of his great work was behind him and he became more flamboyant. Dali (Pacino) also developed a mentor-protege relationship with a young art dealer named Stan Lauryssens, who will be played by Murphy.
The part of Gala, Dali's wife, has yet to be cast.
Room 9 originally acquired the project as a spec written by John Salvati, based on Lauryssens' autobiographical book Dali and I. Niccol rewrote the script.
Dali is scheduled to begin shooting in early 2008 on location in Spain and New York.
Daniel Brunt is overseeing the project at Room 9, which was behind Jason Reitman's award winning Thank You For Smoking.
Murphy most recently starred in Danny Boyle's Sunshine and Ken Loach's The Wind That Shakes The Barley. He is currently shooting Beeban Kidron's Hippie Hippie Shake for Universal Pictures/Working Title.
