Ever since making his mark stateside in 2011's
Thor, UK actor Tom Hiddleston has made more than his fair share of
Marvel fangirls swoon, helping Kevin Feige create a film studio dynasty. This specific section of Hiddleston's large fanbase will be pleased to know that the actor appears nude in Ben Wheatley's
High-Rise, which co-stars Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans, and Elisabeth Moss.
The film debuted in 2015 at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) before premiering in the UK on March 18, 2016. The film received a very limited release in the US before being made available via Video-On Demand (VOD). It will be made available on DVD and blu-ray on August 02. In this newly-released commentary clip, Hiddleston has a laugh at his nude scene, which Wheatley admittedly jokes that he attempted to base the film's entire marketing campaign around Hiddleston's nudity.
HIGH-RISE stars Hiddleston as Dr. Robert Laing, the newest resident of a luxurious apartment in a high-tech concrete skyscraper whose lofty location places him amongst the upper class. Laing quickly settles into high society life and meets the building’s eccentric tenants: Charlotte (Miller), his upstairs neighbor and bohemian single mother; Wilder (Evans), a charismatic documentarian who lives with his pregnant wife Helen (Moss); and Mr. Royal (Irons), the enigmatic architect who designed the building. Life seems like paradise to the solitude-seeking Laing. But as power outages become more frequent and building flaws emerge, particularly on the lower floors, the regimented social strata begins to crumble and the building becomes a battlefield in a literal class war. HIGH-RISE is the latest film by cult British director Ben Wheatley (Kill List, A Field in England), an ambitious adaptation of the J.G. Ballard novel of the same name.
