Luther: The Fallen Sun is the latest (and maybe last?) adventure by the no-nonsense London detective, played by Idris Elba. This time around, though, he has a bigger budget and two hours of screen time to take down his deadly opponent. Netflix just released the first trailer for the movie – which you can see at the top of this article – and it finally reveals the first details of the highly anticipated story.
Luthor appears in a prison trailer before he breaks out, sending him searching for his new nemesis: David Robbie – played by Lord of the Rings star Andy Serkis.
The film’s official synopsis reads: “A serial killer terrorizes London while disgraced detective John Luther languishes behind bars. Haunted by his failure to capture the cyber-psychopath now harassing him, Luther decides to escape from prison to finish the job by any means necessary.”
The trailer shows a cat-and-mouse chase between both Luther, the serial killer, and the police who are after the two men for various reasons.
In classic Luther fashion, the gritty detective will stop at nothing to get his man, even if it means he gets himself sentenced to prison for the rest of his days.
said star Luther Elba recently Respected About how much I love playing a detective (which he has done since 2010 on the BBC).
He said, “Luther is probably the character who looks the most like me in real life. He’s got a lot of conviction. He doesn’t try to overcomplicate things. He gets to the point. I love writing. It’s fun to play.”
Elba also recently told Capital XTRA that he’s “proud” of the latest movie.
“I feel, for sure, that the movie is a huge achievement for all of us,” he said. “We love the movie. We’re still finishing it now. I think the fans worried about: ‘Wow, now Luther is going to get Hollywood’ — I don’t think they need to worry about that. I think we’ve definitely paid attention to the core audiences.”
Elba added, “We also left room for people who don’t know Luther to kind of say, ‘Let me join.'” I can’t wait for people to see it.”
He continued, “I’m so proud to have watched Luther. From 10 years on TV to now a movie. It’s amazing to me.”
The 50-year-old Briton also teased the future of the film series: “I hope this is a series of films that expand John Luther’s stories, a bigger canvas, more bandwidth to see who he is, and understand him a little bit more.”
Luther: The Fallen Sun hits theaters February 24 and Netflix March 10.
