Opening tomorrow, in limited release, is "Easy Virtue". It's the new film from director Stephen Elliott ("Priscilla Queen of the Desert") and it's an adaptation of Noel Coward's play. Starring is Jessica Biel, Colin Firth, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Ben Barnes.

I managed to see "Easy Virtue" a few weeks back and was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Not only are the performances great across the board (yes...even Jessica Biel), but the script was really funny and not at all what I expected. While we've all seen plenty of movies that take place in the roaring 20's, "Easy Virtue" seemed fresh.

Anyway, to help promote the film, we've been given 5 clips and the trailer. They're all after the jump so take a look. Also, later tonight look for my exclusive video interview with Sheridan Jobbins and director Stephen Elliott. He explains why he's been away from making movies for so long.

The twenties have roared... the thirties have yet to swing. John Whittaker, a young Englishman, falls madly in love with Larita, a sexy and glamorous American woman, and they marry impetuously.  However when the couple returns to the family home, his mother Mrs. Whittaker has an instant allergic reaction to her new daughter-in-law.  Larita tries her best to fit in but fails to tiptoe through the minefield laid by her mother-in-law.  Larita quickly realizes Mrs. Whittaker's game and sees that she must fight back if she's not going to lose John. A battle of wits ensues and sparks soon fly.  Mrs. Whittaker manipulates every situation to undermine her, while Larita remains frustratingly calm and engineers sassy counter attacks. Before long, Mrs. Whittaker's manipulation starts to work on John and Larita feels their love is in danger of slipping away.  In a grand finale, where the secrets from Larita's past are revealed, she finally makes a break for freedom from the suffocating house...

EASY VIRTUE, the adaptation of Noel Coward's play, was completed in seven weeks of principal photography at the end of February 2008, and was shot entirely on location in the UK in magnificent stately homes which include Flintham Hall in Nottingham, Englefield House, near Reading in Berkshire , and Wimpole Hall in Cambridgeshire.
