Searchlight has released the full-length trailer for the musical The Testament of Ann Lee [ANLEE]. Amanda Seyfried [ASEYF] stars as the real-life Ann Lee, the founder of the Christian sect known as the Shakers who preached gender and social equality. She led her followers to settle in colonial America of the 18th Century. The Testament of Ann Lee expands wide on January 23rd.
From award-winning writer-director Mona Fastvold (The World to Come, The Brutalist), The Testament of Ann Lee captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a utopia, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall (Vox Lux) and original songs & score by Academy Award winner Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist).
