“Yes queen slay!”: Watch the bloody first trailer for lesbian comedy Bottoms
Fight Club meets But I’m a Cheerleader in the first trailer for Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri’s lesbian comedy Bottoms. Directed by Emma Seligman, who also shared writing duties with Sennott, the highly-anticipated film follows two queer teenagers who create a fight club to “impress and hook up with cheerleaders”. “Their bizarre plan works.
The fight club gains traction and soon the most popular girls in school are beating each other up in the name of self-defense,” reads the official synopsis. “But PJ (Sennott) and Josie (Edebiri) find themselves in over their heads and in need of a way out before their plan is exposed.” Bottoms also stars Havana Rose Liu (No Exit) as Isabel, Kaia Gerber (American Horror Stories) as Brittany and Nicholas Galitzine (Red, White & Royal Blue) as Jeff.
Additional cast members include Dagmara Domińcyzk (Succession), Marshawn Lynch (Westworld), Ruby Cruz (Mare of Easttown), Miles Fowler (The Resident) and Punkie Johnson (Saturday Night Live).
Earlier this year, Bottoms premiered at the 2023 SXSW film festival, where it received widespread critical acclaim for Sennott and Edebiri’s leading performances, its satirical elements and the queer representation.
