Oscar 2025 Favorite? Thrilling Ralph Fiennes Movie Drops New Trailer!

Two years after the success of “All Quiet on the Western Front,” which won at the 95th Academy Awards including Best International Feature Film, German director Edward Berger has taken on another novel adaptation, this time bringing Robert Harris’s bestseller Conclave to the big screen.

Scheduled for a December 4th cinema release, this enthralling thriller takes the audience deep into the heart of the Vatican as a new Pope must be chosen. It’s the perfect setting for a gripping closed-door drama filled with intrigue, secrets, and power struggles!

When the Pope dies unexpectedly and under mysterious circumstances, Cardinal Lawrence finds himself tasked with overseeing the selection of the next Pope. As Vatican political schemes escalate, he discovers a hidden secret left by the late Pope that he must uncover before a new leader is appointed. What unfolds behind these walls could change the course of history.

The film features Ralph Fiennes (Schindler’s List, No Time to Die, the Harry Potter series) as Cardinal Lawrence, who is charged with leading the conclave. Joining him are Stanley Tucci (Spotlight), John Lithgow (The Crown), Isabella Rossellini (Blue Velvet), Lucian Msamati (Gangs of London), and Sergio Castellitto (Who Knows?).

Already tipped as a strong contender for the 2025 Oscars, the political thriller “Conclave” invites you into the Vatican’s corridors on December 4th in cinemas.
