‘Eileen’ Trailer – Anne Hathaway and Thomasin McKenzie Play a Hitchcockian Game in NEON’s Thriller
Described as a “wild Hitchcockian noir,” NEON has released the trailer for Eileen this afternoon, which stars Anne Hathaway and Thomasin McKenzie (Last Night in Soho).
The psychological thriller opens in theaters in New York and Los Angeles on December 1, followed by a wide theatrical release nationwide on December 8, 2023.
An adaptation of Ottessa Moshfegh’s acclaimed novel, Eileen was directed by William Oldroyd (“Lady Macbeth”). Moshfegh wrote the script alongside Luke Goebel.
In the film, “Set during a bitter 1964 Massachusetts winter, young secretary Eileen becomes enchanted by the glamorous new counselor at the prison where she works.”
The official plot description continues, “Their budding friendship takes a twisted turn when Rebecca reveals a dark secret – throwing Eileen onto a sinister path.”
“Seeing my book come to life on screen has always been a career goal. The premiere at Sundance was a beautiful glimpse of what is to come,” Moshfegh said in a recent statement.
Watch the official trailer for Eileen below, debuted by NEON today.
It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
