A24’s ‘False Positive’ Trailer Delivers All the Fears and Paranoia of a Pregnancy [Video]
Never underestimate a mother’s intuition.
Having just had a baby, I can tell you that the entire experience is actually pretty frightening. I can’t even imagine what it’s like being in the mother’s shoes.
“Broad City’s” Ilana Glazer looks to bring all of the fears and extreme paranoia of a pregnancy to the screen with her Rosemary’s Baby-inspired thriller False Positive, the latest horror offering from A24.
The full trailer has finally arrived and reveals Glazer as a pregnant woman questioning everything around her, including her doctor (Pierce Brosnan) and even her husband (American Psycho‘s Justin Theroux). Is there something wrong with her baby?
In the film…
“After months of trying and failing to get pregnant, Lucy (Glazer) and Adrian (Theroux) finally find their dream fertility doctor in the illustrious Dr. Hindle (Brosnan). But after becoming pregnant with a healthy baby girl, Lucy begins to notice something sinister through Hindle’s gleaming charm, and she sets out to uncover the unsettling truth about him, and her own “birth story.” As if getting pregnant weren’t complicated enough…”
Sophia Bush and Gretchen Mol also star.
John Lee, the creator of “Wonder Showzen” who has also helmed episodes of “Broad City” and Netflix’s Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, directs.
False Positive will World Premiere at Tribeca before being delivered to Hulu subscribers on June 25th.
If you want to watch a fun movie, watch a Ryuhei Kitamura movie. Whether it’s 2000’s Versus, 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, 2008’s The Midnight Meat Train or 2022’s underseen The Price We Pay, Kitamura always knows how to deliver a wild and crazy good time.
Up next from Ryuhei Kitamura? Deadline reports that he’ll be directing Thrill Ride, which sounds a bit like the best parts of Final Destination 3… expanded into a feature film!
Deadline details, “the English-language film will tell the story of a group of people, including two young women, who are trapped upside down on a roller coaster taken over by a mysterious saboteur threatening to drop them all one-by-one to their deaths.”
Film Bridge International is launching the project for sales ahead of the Cannes market.
Chad Law and Christopher Jolley wrote the screenplay.
“Thrill Ride is exactly the type of high-concept based thriller that our customers are looking for in the marketplace,” said Film Bridge’s Ellen Wander and Jordan Dykstra. “With Ryuhei at the helm, we know his vision and execution will deliver thrills of the highest quality.”
“As a hardcore rollercoaster fan since I was young, I immediately fell in love with this script filled with suspense, action, crazy ups and downs, turns, loops, and corkscrews at maximum speed,” adds Kitamura. “I can’t wait to get on a ride and bring life to the wildest rollercoaster imaginable.”
We’re already seated. Stay tuned for more on Thrill Ride as we learn it.
