Elsinore trailer and poster reveal Andrew Scott as Ian Charleson – STUDIOCANAL has released the Australian trailer and poster for the drama, ahead of its cinema opening on 28 January 2027. Andrew Scott plays Ian Charleson, the actor whose final stage performance became a defining moment in his career.
For Australian moviegoers, this announcement fixes a local cinema date alongside the new campaign materials. Release dates elsewhere differ, so the 28 January date is the one to watch here. The poster and trailer also put Scott’s performance at the centre of the film’s promotion.
What is Elsinore about?
Elsinore tells the true story of Charleson as he confronts his mortality while continuing to work as an actor. STUDIOCANAL describes a man who meets that challenge with honesty, wit and grace. His courageous performance becomes a source of inspiration and healing for the people around him.
The story is closely tied to the stage: Charleson’s acclaimed final role was Hamlet at London’s National Theatre. Scott portrays that period of his life, while Olivia Colman and Billie Piper are also among the film’s lead cast. The official film page additionally lists Johnny Flynn, Luke Thompson, David Dawson, Matthew Beard, Joe Locke, Monica Dolan, Georgie Glen, Sadie Soverall, Adeel Akhtar, Dickie Beau, Kadiff Kirwan, Juliet Stevenson and Peter Mullan.

Simon Stone directs Elsinore from a screenplay by Stephen Beresford. Andrea Occhipinti, Gabrielle Tana, Pete Shilaimon, Mickey Liddell, Stefano Massenzi, Carolyn Marks Blackwood and Scott are credited as producers. The official film page says the screenplay is based on an idea by Ethan Silverman.
The Australian poster features a close-up profile of Scott and confirms the local 28 January cinema opening. The poster is shown below; the clean film still above is used separately as the article’s featured image.
