The movie may not have demon nuns, alien invaders, legendary killers or symbiote-infected anti-heroes, but BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE is nonetheless one of the most anticipated movies of the fall. Featuring an all-star cast, Drew Goddard behind the camera and script, and a nigh-shirtless Chris Hemsworth grooving in the hotel lobby, the movie is a must-see for movie fans of all stripes. A new trailer unveils a bit more about the plot and characters, but not too much, and there’s still plenty of mystery surrounding this shady establishment and the people in it.

Here's the plot synopsis:

Seven strangers, each with a secret to bury, meet at Lake Tahoe’s El Royale, a rundown hotel with a dark past. Over the course of one fateful night, everyone will have a last shot at redemption… before everything goes to hell.

Our own Chris Bumbray got a chance to interview Goddard and members of the cast including Jon Hamm, Dakota Johnson, and Jeff Bridges. Check out the interviews below and read the full article, which includes impressions of the screened footage, here!
