The young cast of On Swift Horses lit up the Toronto International Film Festival red carpet on Saturday for the movie’s world premiere.
Jacob Elordi, Daisy Edgar-Jones and director Daniel Minahan were in attendance at the Princess of Wales Theatre to debut their noir-ish queer love story from screenwriter Bryce Kass, based on the Shannon Pufahl novel of the same name.
Also walking the red carpet were co-stars Sasha Calle, Diego Calva, Will Poulter and Kat Cunning.
Set in the 1950s, Edgar-Jones stars as Muriel, who sets off to California with husband Lee (Poulter) to begin a new life following his return from the Korean War. But when Lee’s brother Julius (Elordi) visits, he opens Muriel up to the world of gambling and a love she never expected.
Produced by Peter Spears, Daniel Minahan, Tim Headington, Mollye Asher, Theresa Steele Page and Michael D’Alto, On Swift Horses is looking for distribution.
The Eisenhower era drama comes after Minahan dove into the period when he directed episodes of last year’s Showtime limited series Fellow Travelers. Based on the Thomas Mallon novel, the Emmy-nominated series features Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey in another queer star-crossed love story.
