Anya Taylor-Joy is a chess prodigy in first trailer for Netflix's 'The Queen's Gambit.' AnyaTaylorJoy TheQueensGambit
Rising starlet Anya Taylor-Joy has set her sights on portraying another example of what has become a classic stock character at this point: The strung-out chess prodigy with the troubled past and tumultuous home life. She’ll be stepping into those shoes in, a mini-series for Netflix that debuted its first teaser today, with a release on the world’s largest streamer on Oct. 23, 2020. You can see the teaser below.
“Haunted by her personal demons and fueled by a cocktail of narcotics and obsession, Beth transforms into an impressively skilled and glamorous outcast while determined to conquer the traditional boundaries established in the male-dominated world of competitive chess.” Considering the time period by the time that the film will be occupying by the time Taylor-Joy’s character is in her 20s, it feels like we’ll be getting a bit of, and indeed the shot of Taylor-Joy walking out of a building wearing sunglasses almost looks like an homage to’s Peggy Olson. Of course, these stories of chess prodigy kids rarely end well, and we have a feeling that a Bobby Fisher-like destiny could be in store for Beth.
