100 Nights of Hero adapts Isabel Greenberg’s graphic novel into a cinematic story set in a remote castle where a charming houseguest, Manfred, upends a household. Cherry, an innocent bride, must become pregnant within 101 nights or face unspecified peril. Hero, the devoted maid, is in love with Cherry, creating a queer love triangle intensified when Manfred seduces Cherry. The trailer features Nicholas Galitzine shirtless and behaving provocatively, Maika Monroe as Cherry, Emma Corrin as Hero, and Charli XCX as Rosa in her film debut. Supporting cast includes Richard E. Grant, Amir El-Masry, Felicity Jones, Safia Oakley-Green and Christopher Fairbank. The film premieres at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival.
The novel is inspired by the legendary collection of folk tales One Thousand and One Nights, and centres on two women in love, Cherry (Maika Monroe) and Hero (Emma Corrin). While it's unclear how close the plot of the film will follow that of the novel, Galitzine will play houseguest Manfred, who sets his sights on Cherry after she is told that if she fails to become pregnant after 101 nights, she will "not see next spring".
Brat superstar Charli XCX is also seen in the 100 Nights of Hero trailer, strumming some sort of fantastical musical instrument in what could be a dream sequence. She will play the role of Rosa, and it's her film debut. Cherry is seen getting it on with Manfred (and leaning in to smooch Hero), with the three caught in an awkward and potentially deadly love triangle.
