First Trailer Released for Venice-Bound Film 100 Nights of Hero

The upcoming film 100 Nights of Hero is a historical fantasy dramedy directed by Julia Jackman and adapted from Isabel Greenberg's cult graphic novel. The story centers on Cherry, a young wife trapped in a cruel marriage, whose husband wagers that his friend Manfred can seduce her within one hundred nights, unaware that Cherry is in love with her maid Hero.

The film features an ensemble cast including Charli XCX in her feature film debut, Felicity Jones, Richard E. Grant, and Amir El-Masry. Set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September 2025 and release in cinemas in December 2025, the film explores themes of love, betrayal, and power dynamics in a richly imagined medieval world. Cast members have praised the project for its heartfelt adaptation and magical atmosphere, with filming taking place in a castle to enhance the setting's authenticity.
