Celebrated, Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes released his new movie ‘Empire Of Light’ late last year. It was his next work, after the seminal 1917. ‘Empire Of Light’ did not do too well at the box office, nor did it receive too many favourable reviews from critics and audiences. The performances in the film, however, received glowing words of praise from most people who watched the movie in the theatres. ‘Empire Of Light’ stars the eminently watchable Olivia Colman in the lead.
Indian film enthusiasts did not get a chance to watch ‘Empire Of Light‘ in the theatres, for the film did not enjoy a theatrical release in Indian theatres. Now, ‘Empire Of Light’ is all geared up to release on streaming in India, giving a chance to film lovers to watch Sam Mendes’ latest work. Since the movie is a Searchlight Pictures distribution, which is a Disney company, ‘Empire Of Light’ will arrive on streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar in India.
As for the ‘Empire Of Light’ OTT release date, the film has already begun streaming on HBO Max in the US. As per Disney Plus Hotstar’s normal ways, most movies that begin streaming in the US arrive in India the same week or maybe a week or two later. By this pattern, ‘Empire Of Light’ should begin streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar this February.
‘Empire Of Light’ stars Olivia Colman, Micheal Ward, Monica Dolan, Tom Brooke, Tanya Moodie, Hannah Onslow, Crystal Clarke, Toby Jones, and Colin Firth. Set in an English coastal town in the early 1980s, the film is about the power of human connection during turbulent times. The official synopsis of ‘Empire Of Light’ reads, “The duty manager of a seaside cinema, who is struggling with her mental health, forms a relationship with a new employee on the south coast of England in the 1980s.”
