While waiting for Outlander filming to start, Caitriona Balfe took on a project called Belfast. You’ll be able to watch the movie in November 2021.
Focus Features has set the release date for November 12, 2021, according to Deadline. The plan is to release in the theaters, and by that point, theaters will hopefully be back to some sort of normalcy. Whether there will also be VOD releases due to not all countries possibly opening up at that point isn’t clear.
We’ll be able to share updates on that closer to the time. Right now, it’s just about getting ready for one of Caitriona Balfe’s projects outside of Outlander. It’s certainly going to be something for droughtlander, as I just can’t see Outlander Season 6 premiering before 2022.
Balfe stars with Jamie Dornan, Judi Dench, Ciaran Hines, and Jude Hill. Focus Features will handle the U.S. distribution with Universal Pictures handling it internationally.
What is Belfast about?
Belfast is from Kenneth Branagh, and is a story about love, laughter, and loss. Not the type of loss that comes with grief, but the loss of a boy’s childhood. It’s set in the turbulent 1960s in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Jude Hill will play the part of the young boy who we see the movie through. Balfe and Dornan will play his parents, a passionate working-class couple who end up caught up in the mayhem of the time. Dench and Hinds will play the boy’s grandparents.
It’s a personal film for Branagh, showing the life in Northern Ireland through the eyes of a young boy.
If you’ve ever been intrigued about the troubles in Northern Ireland, this is going to be a movie for you. It’s earlier than most movies and shows are set, but will show the initial stages that led to the troubles of the ’70s to the ’90s.
Belfast is out in theaters on November 12, 2021.
