October 02, 2024Apple TV+ Unveils Gripping Trailer for Alfonso Cuarón’s ‘Disclaimer’ Starring Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline
Based on Renée Knight’s novel of the same name, Disclaimer introduces us to Catherine Ravenscroft (Blanchett), a hard-hitting journalist known for exposing the wrongdoings of others. But when a novel unexpectedly arrives on her doorstep, she finds herself thrust into the role of the protagonist—an unwelcome one—of a story that threatens to unravel her most personal and damaging secrets. What follows is a nerve-wracking race against time as Catherine attempts to discover the mysterious author’s identity, all while her life, marriage, and relationship with her son are on the verge of collapse.
Joining Blanchett are Kline as Catherine’s husband Robert, and The Power of the Dog star Kodi Smit-McPhee as their son, Nicholas. The impressive supporting cast includes Sacha Baron Cohen, Lesley Manville, Louis Partridge, Leila George, Hoyeon, and Indira Varma, who will lend her voice as the series' narrator.
A Dynamic Collaboration of Hollywood Giants
The mastermind behind Disclaimer is Alfonso Cuarón, whose visionary direction brings this psychological thriller to life. His collaboration with legendary cinematographers Emmanuel Lubezki and Bruno Delbonnel promises stunning visual storytelling, a signature of Cuarón’s works like Gravity and Roma. The series also brings music by none other than Grammy Award-winning artist Finneas O’Connell, further heightening the tension and emotion with his evocative score.
Blanchett, who also serves as an executive producer, pairs up with Cuarón for the first time, and expectations are understandably high. The series is co-produced by Apple Studios, Esperanto Filmoj, and Anonymous Content, with Gabriela Rodriguez and the late Steve Golin also serving as executive producers.
A Thriller Rooted in Psychological Suspense
Disclaimer is far from a typical thriller. It places its protagonist at the center of an intricate psychological web where the line between reality and fiction blurs. The trailer hints at a slow burn of escalating tension, with Catherine’s desperation growing as she grapples with a past she’s worked hard to hide. Fans of Cuarón’s previous work will likely appreciate the depth of emotion and complex themes interwoven into the narrative, which explores the power of guilt, identity, and the lengths one will go to protect their loved ones.The story taps into the contemporary zeitgeist of accountability and media ethics, with Catherine’s former investigative work coming back to haunt her in ways she never anticipated. The trailer teases this moral conflict—can Catherine reckon with her own misdeeds in time to save her family?
