Emma Watson Must Rescue Daniel Bruhl In New Trailer And Images For ‘Colonia’

While a movie bringing together Emma Watson and Daniel Bruhl sounds promising on paper

Unfortunately, “Colonia” didn’t really live up to the promise when I reviewed it at the Toronto International Film Festival. 

Regardless, those two leads are certainly magnetic and share some good chemistry, which should be enough for many to check it out, and a new international trailer has arrived.

Directed by Florian Gallenberger, the ’70s set picture follows a German activist who travels to Chile 

And finds himself thrown into the notorious Colonia Dignidad, a torture camp run by an enigmatic cult, all due to his support of Salvador Allende. 

Effectively disappeared, it’s up to his flight attendant girlfriend to go undercover as a nun (really) to Colonia Dignidad and rescue him from its clutches. Here’s the synopsis: 

Chile, 1973. Lufthansa flight attendant Lena (Watson) is in Santiago to visit her boyfriend, Daniel (Brühl), a talented graphic artist creating images in support of embattled President Salvador Allende. When Allende is violently ousted, General Augusto Pinochet’s forces begin rounding up dissidents. Daniel is taken to the remote stronghold of Colonia Dignidad (“Dignity Colony”), home to a secret agricultural commune and crypto-fascist sect led by sinister minister Paul Schäfer (Michael Nyqvist). Daniel is interrogated and tortured, but feigns severe mental deterioration to stay alive. Valiant and wily, Lena travels to Colonia and offers herself up to Schäfer as a follower. She is determined to find and free Daniel — but first she must ensure that she herself can survive Schäfer’s crushingly oppressive, viciously misogynistic practices.

“Colonia” opens in Germany on February 18th. Screen Media Films will release the picture in the U.S., but no date has been set. Watch below and check out some new images too.

Despite some mixed reviews from critics, the combination of Emma Watson and Daniel Bruhl is definitely enticing for fans of both actors.

Given the historical context of the film, set in 1970s Chile during a turbulent political period, “Colonia” has the potential to shed light on a lesser-known chapter of history.

Florian Gallenberger’s direction brings a gritty and intense atmosphere to the story, adding to the suspense and drama of the plot.

With themes of sacrifice, bravery, and love at its core, the film promises to be a compelling watch for audiences looking for a mix of political intrigue and personal drama.

As the release date approaches in Germany, fans in the U.S. can anticipate the arrival of “Colonia” courtesy of Screen Media Films.

Stay tuned for more updates on the film’s U.S. release date and be sure to catch Emma Watson and Daniel Bruhl in action as they navigate the dangerous world of Colonia Dignidad.
