Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins never gets tired of leaving his mark on film history, and will soon play one of the most influential men of the 19th and 20th centuries in Freud’s Last Session, the new film by Matt Brown (The Man Who Knew Infinity). Based on the stage play of the same name that has already captivated the world of theater (which at the same time is based on Armand Nichol’s book The Question of God), Freud’s Last Session focuses on an interesting and revealing conversation between two of the greatest minds in the history of humanity as psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud and The Chronicles of Narnia author C.S. Lewis embark on a debate about the existence of God, among other philosophical topics.

After its debut at the AFI Fest in LA, Sony Pictures Classics has released the first official teaser trailer for the film, which will premiere in selected theaters in December, in order to compete in the upcoming awards season:

Here’s the official synopsis for Freud’s Last Session:

“On the eve of the Second World War, two of the greatest minds of the 20th Century, Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis, converge for their own personal battle over the existence of God.” The movie “interweaves the lives of Freud and Lewis, past, present and through fantasy, bursting from the confines of Freud’s study on a dynamic journey.”

Joining Hopkins is Matthew Goode (The Crown) as C.S. Lewis, Liv Lisa Fries (Hinterland) as Anna Freud, Jodi Balfour (The Rest of Us) as Dorothy Burlingham, Pádraic Delaney (The Man Who Knew Infinity) as Warren Lewis, Stephen Campbell Moore (Downton Abbey) as J.R.R Tolkien, Rhys Mannion (Clean Sweep) as young C.S. Lewis, George Andrew-Clarke as Paddy Moore, Orla Brady (Star Trek: Picard) as Janie Moore, Gary Buckley (Vikings) as Albert Lewis, Tarek Bishara (The Endgame) as Jacob Freud, and Jeremy Northam (The Crown) as Dr. Ernest Jones.

Hopkins is, without a doubt, one of the most celebrated actors in all of Hollywood. He began his career in 1965 in the series The Man in Room 17, and made the leap to the big screen in 1967 with The White Bus. He has won two of the six Academy Awards for which he has been nominated, for the movies The Silence of the Lambs and The Father. The titles for which he did not win were The Remains of the Day, Nixon, Amistad, and The Two Popes, and are just a few of the long list of acclaimed projects he’s been a part of.

In addition to his work in notable movies, he has been part of huge franchises such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe playing Odin, father of Thor and Loki, and Transformers, where he played Sir Edmund Burton.

This year he will be one of the protagonists of Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire, the space odyssey directed by Zack Snyder, where the actor lens his voice to a robot named Jimmy. So, Sigmund Freud is definitely another interesting challenge for an actor that has seemingly done it all.
