Trailer: ‘Promising Young Woman’ lands in theaters Christmas Day

“Every now and then a film comes along that ignites a conversation, holds up a mirror and jolts us awake…”

So begins the trailer for Promising Young Woman, a delicious new take on revenge from actor/director Emerald Fennell (Killing Eve, The Crown). Everyone said Cassie (Academy Award nominee Carey Mulligan) was a promising young woman… until a mysterious event abruptly derailed her future.  But nothing in Cassie’s life is what it appears to be: she’s wickedly smart, tantalizingly cunning, and she’s living a secret double life by night.  Now, an unexpected encounter is about to give Cassie a chance to right the wrongs of the past in this thrilling and wildly entertaining story. 

Premiering to huge acclaim in Sundance earlier this year (read our review here), PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN is directed and written by Emerald Fennell (Killing Eve) also stars Bo Burnham along with an ensemble cast that includes Laverne Cox, Alison Brie, Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Max Greenfield, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chris Lowell, Sam Richardson, Molly Shannon, and Clancy Brown. 

Fennell produced along with Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley, and Josey McNamara for LuckyChap Entertainment and Ben Browning and Ashley Fox for FilmNation Entertainment.  

Here is the new trailer.
