Variety has been given exclusive access to the international trailer for Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Clara van Gool’s “The Beast in the Jungle,” which world premieres at the 48th Rotterdam Film Festival.
The English-language dance-based romantic drama, adapted from Henry James’ 1903 novella, will play in Rotterdam’s Limelight section. The film, starring South African choreographer-dancer Dane Jeremy Hurst and Irish dancer Sarah Reynolds, was written by Van Gool alongside British author and poet Glyn Maxwell.
The movie depicts “the mysterious and epic love story” of John Marcher and May Bartram, according to a statement. Van Gool, who won the Emmy Award for performing arts for “Enter Achilles,” described it as “an unconventional love story about a man obsessed with a premonition that he is destined to experience, something great, mind-blowing even, and a woman who decides to wait with him for this to happen.”

Paul King, director of the “Paddington” movies, has come on board to develop and helm a movie version of the fantasy novel “Time’s Fool” for Fox Searchlight.
David Heyman, who produced the “Harry Potter,” “Fantastic Beasts,” and “Paddington” franchises, is producing. Jon Croker is co-writing the script with King and will also produce.
“Time’s Fool,” written by Glyn Maxwell, is a magical love story about a young man who is trapped, cursed to ride a train for eternity — except for one night every seven years, when the train pulls into his hometown, and he has only a few hours to unravel the nature of his curse.
“I’ve always been attracted to films which use magical ideas to explore real human emotions,” King said. “And so when, one rainy afternoon, Jon poured me a cup of tea and told me the story of ‘Time’s Fool,’ I was immediately hooked.
