The first full-length trailer for the LGBTQIA+ film Love Lies Bleeding has arrived. Directed by Rose Glass, who also shared scriptwriting duties with Weronika Tofilska, the upcoming A24 thriller is described as an “electric new love story,” starring Kristen Stewart and Katy O’Brian.
The synopsis reads: “Reclusive gym manager Lou (Stewart) falls hard for Jackie (O’Brian), an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Vegas in pursuit of her dream.
But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family.” Love Lies Bleeding’s ensemble cast also includes Anna Baryshnikov as Daisy, Dave Franco as JJ, Jena Malone as Beth, Ed Harris as Lou Sr, Orion Carrington as O’Riley, Jerry G Angelo as Mikey and Tait Fletcher as Nate.
On 19 December, movie enthusiasts were finally given a sneak peek into the upcoming project via its thrilling new trailer. The teaser starts with an ominous exterior shot of a gym before a man asks Lou if she has recently spoken to her dad – which sparks a flashback of Lou Sr shooting someone.
