New trailer for Great Expectations

A new trailer for Mike Newell’s Dickens adaptation of Great Expectations has arrived, and boy oh boy is it lavish. With a capital L. And how bonkers does Helena Bonham Carter look?

For the non-Dickens fans in the room, here’s a quick synopsis. It’s gonna be good, we reckon.

Young orphan Pip is given a chance to rise from his humble beginnings thanks to a mysterious benefactor. Moving through London’s class ridden world as a gentleman, Pip uses his new found position to pursue the beautiful Estella; a spoilt heiress he’s loved since childhood. Yet the shocking truth behind his great fortune will have devastating consequences for everything he holds dear.

Great Expectations stars Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes, Jeremy Irvine, Robbie Coltrane, Holliday Grainger and David Walliams and is released on 30 November.
