Co-directed by Pierre-Luc Granjon, Blue Fox will release The Inventor in the U.S. theatrically nationwide on August 25th, 2023. Here’s our first look:
The insatiably curious and headstrong inventor/artist Leonardo da Vinci (Fry) leaves Italy to join the French court where he can freely experiment, invent flying contraptions and incredible machines, and study the human body. Joined in his adventure by the audacious Princess Marguerite (Ridley), Leonardo attempts to uncover the answer to the ultimate question: “What is the meaning of life?”
