Focus Features has just released another longer trailer for their upcoming thrilling movie, Thoroughbreds. Directed by newcomer Cory Finley, it offsets actor Anton Yelchin (Star Trek: Into Darkness) with Olivia Cooke (Bates Motel) and Anya Taylor-Joy (The New Mutants). They will be joined by actors such as Francie Smith (Gossip Girl), Paul Sparks (Boardwalk Empire), and Kaili Vernoff (Crisis in Six Scenes).
Taylor-Joy and Cooke are sure terrify viewers by playing two girls embroiled in a dark and brutalizing friendship. Cooke’s character is described as “feeling nothing” while Taylor-Joy’s is described as “feeling everything.” This creates an interesting relationship as it allows Cooke’s character to help Taylor-Joy’s solve her problems without feeling any qualms about extremes. The greatest of these issues involve an extremely controlling step-dad. After the man decides to send Taylor-Joy’s character away, the two girls cook up a plan to prevent it, aiming to bring peace to their stressful days. However, they want a more permanent method of revenge: killing him. This sets the stage for their horrifying actions, enabling them to ask for aid in their plot from a character played by Yelchin.
Watch the haunting trailer below!
Thoroughbreds has already made its way around the indie film festival circuit. Audiences will be happy to know that it will soon be far more accessible for other viewers, as it will shift into wide release on March 9, 2018.
