Yesterday, A24 unveiled a poster for their upcoming slasher comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies, which is set to reach theatres on August 5th, and promised a trailer would be dropping online today. True to their word, they have released a trailer online, and you can check it out in the embed above!
A24 first purchased Kristen Roupenian’s Bodies Bodies Bodies spec script back in March of 2018. The script was said to show “heightened sensitivity to character development and social dynamics in a subversive way”, and was described as
a shrewd character study where mystery and deep-seated scares blended in such a way that the company saw an opportunity to make a horror movie that could also be culturally relevant.
The script got some touch-up work from Sarah DeLappe, Chloe Okuno, Joshua Sharp, and Aaron Jackson in the time between acquisition when it went into production with Halina Reijn, who made her feature directorial debut with the 2019 Dutch thriller Instinct, at the helm. Roupenian receives story credit on the finished film, while DeLappe gets the screenplay credit.
Bodies Bodies Bodies has the following synopsis:
When a group of rich 20-somethings plan a hurricane party at a remote family mansion, a party game turns deadly in this fresh and funny look at backstabbing, fake friends, and one party gone very, very wrong.
Bodies Bodies Bodies stars Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give), Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm), Pete Davidson (The King of Staten Island), Rachel Sennott (Shiva Baby), Myha’la Herrold (Industry), Chase Sui Wonders (Generation), Conner O’Malley (Palm Springs), and Lee Pace (Guardians of the Galaxy).
Judging by the trailer, this movie appears like it’s going to be a fun time. It seems like it’s going to provide a good amount of laughs between the bloodshed.
