The much anticipated (by me, at least) adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, starring Lily James, Armie Hammer, and Kristin Scott Thomas as Mrs. Danvers (SWOON), and directed by Ben Wheatley, now has a release date: October 21, 2020.

Today, Netflix released some first look photos. They do not make me less excited. Though you’d think they could get Armie a suit that fits, eh?
