An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, The Green Knight tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur's reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men. Gawain contends with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers in what becomes a deeper journey to define his character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and kingdom by facing the ultimate challenger. From visionary filmmaker David Lowery comes a fresh and bold spin on a classic tale from the knights of the round table.https://a24films.com/films/the-green-knight

Can't see them sticking much to the story.

I'm VERY curious about this. Will it be released to cinemas, or streaming?

"a fresh and bold spin" usually means a crappy offshoot that has little or nothing to do with the actual source material. Also, casting - meh.

It is a theatrical release - was supposed to happen last summer, but they delayed due to COVID-19.
I am sure it will end up on disc and streaming eventually, after theatrical run is complete.
Older article, but has good info still as far as I am aware:

I have to say, based on that trailer, I'd agree. The voice work and acting was all weirdly off. Had that fan-film feel to it.

The colour pallet looks nice. That is about as nice as I can offer, otherwise it just whiffes of the typical trailer for an average movie.

Actually, I missed the fact that there was a full trailer and a teaser trailer. The teaser is just weirdly off, but the full trailer just looks like any other fantasy-type movie -- neither especially good, nor especially bad. At least it isn't superheroes...
