LOS ANGELES, Sept 17 — Emma Watson certainly looks impressive in her upcoming movie “Colonia”.

Set during the Chilean military coup of 1973, “Colonia” follows couple Lena (Watson) and Daniel (played by Daniel Brühl) to a cult compound, where leftist political activist Daniel is tortured and interrogated and Lena secretly embeds herself in order to rescue Daniel. The film is based on a true story.

The cult’s leader, preacher Paul Schäfer (Michael Nyqvist), is chilling in the preview. “I can see doubts, turmoil in your soul,” he tells Lena. “Oh, you think you made a mistake, that you shouldn’t have come here. You regret, you regret deeply.”

“Colonia” was co-written by Academy Award winner Florian Gallenberger and Torsten Wenzel and the movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on Tuesday. A US release date has not yet been announced, but it will open in German theatres on January 21, 2016.
