Death becomes Jenna Ortega…
A24 has released the first trailer for Death of a Unicorn, a zany horror comedy starring the 22-year-old Mexican American actress and Paul Rudd.
The film, which will hit theaters this spring, marks the directorial debut of Alex Scharfman, who also penned the script.
The film watches as a father (Rudd) and daughter (Ortega) accidentally hit and kill a unicorn while en route to a weekend retreat, where his billionaire boss (Richard E. Grant) seeks to exploit the creature’s miraculous curative properties. Unfortunately, the unicorn has loved ones who are now out for blood.
Co-financed by A24 and Ley Line Entertainment, Death of a Unicorn also stars Will Poulter, Téa Leoni, Anthony Carrigan, Sunita Mani, and Jessica Hynes.
The film’s score was penned by Halloween‘s John Carpenter with his son, Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies.
