After a 4K restoration of Charlie Chaplin‘s classic “The Gold Rush” premiered as the pre-opening film of Cannes Classics ahead of the Cannes Film Festival, a trailer for the film has now been released.
Coming from mk2 Films, the new trailer lands in the build up to the film’s theatrical re-release, taking place simultaneously around the world on June 26, exactly 100 years to the day of it original premiere in 1925 at the Egyptian Theater in Los Angeles.
The global rollout spans more that 500 screenings across more than 70 territories in what mk2 says is “in collaboration with a distinguished network of local distributors, as well as theatres and cinema networks worldwide.”
“This historic event marks a global tribute to Chaplin’s legacy, reaffirming the enduring power of The Gold Rush to captivate audiences a century after its debut,” the Paris-based company added.
Starring Chaplin as his famous Tramp character, “The Gold Rush” was also written, produced and directed by the icon and is still one of his most celebrated works, featuring his famed “role dance” scene.”
Following its 2025 it was was met with instant critical acclaim. In 1942, Chaplin re-released a “talkie” version, featuring sound effects, music and narration, which would receive two Academy Award nominations (the original out four years before the first Oscars). In 1992, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
