Searchlight Pictures has released the brand new International Trailer for Guillermo del Toro‘s upcoming neo-noir psychological thriller, NIGHTMARE ALLEY, which will be released in UK and Irish cinemas on Friday 21st January 2022.
With a screenplay by del Toro and Kim Morgan, based on the 1946 novel of the same name by William Lindsay Gresham, the film stars Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Toni Collette, David Strathairn, Willem Dafoe, Ron Perlman, Mary Steenburgen and Richard Jenkins.
When charismatic but down-on-his-luck Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper) endears himself to clairvoyant Zeena (Toni Collette) and her has-been mentalist husband Pete (David Strathairn) at a travelling carnival, he crafts a golden ticket to success, using this newly acquired knowledge to grift the wealthy elite of 1940s New York society. With the virtuous Molly (Rooney Mara) loyally by his side, Stanton plots to con a dangerous tycoon (Richard Jenkins) with the aid of a mysterious psychiatrist (Cate Blanchett) who might be his most formidable opponent yet.
