The Good Liar trailer features Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen for the first time
Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen stars in this devilishly cunning film ‘The Good Liar’, a film about two liars and the secrets they keep and the lies they live. This marks the first time the two will star onscreen together, and so far so good, the trailer’s just as interesting
