Companion Appears Like It Might Be Subsequent Yr’s Grown-Up M3GAN

One of the best trailers inform us everything and nothing in regards to the film. We see simply sufficient to get us however haven’t any precise thought what the film is about. And that’s precisely what we get with this primary trailer for a film known as Companion, which can be launched by Warner Bros. in January. We predict we all know what it’s about, however actually now we have no clue.

Written and directed by Drew Hancock, Companion stars Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets) and Jack Quaid (The Boys) as some kind of couple. Solely, properly, there are clearly some severe issues fallacious right here which {the handcuffs} and candle will clue you into. Take a look at the teaser trailer for Companion and we are able to focus on after.

So—she’s a robotic, proper? Possibly Quaid’s character misplaced his spouse and he purchased a brand new model of her that goes slightly loopy? That’s a minimum of what the movie form of looks like—M3GAN however with an adult companion. However, actually, I’m not fairly positive.

Right here’s what we’re positive of. Along with Thatcher, who’ll be coming off the awesome Heretic on the time, and Quaid, at all times standard because of The Boys, Companion co-stars Lukas Gage (Smile 2), Megan Suri (By no means Have I Ever), the superb Harvey Guillén (What We Do within the Shadows), and the Grand Inquisitor himself, Rupert Buddy (Obi-Wan Kenobi). The Barbarian connection is producers Raphael Margules, J.D. Lifshitz, Zach Cregger, and Roy Lee, who made that movie and are actually making this one.

The one clue Warner Bros. is providing up about Companion’s story is a web site that results in a cellphone quantity you possibly can textual content to get your individual companion. The teaser reads: “Hey you. Bored with swiping? Sick of getting ghosted? Are you feeling like part of you is lacking? FindYourCompanion.com is assured to search out you a Companion who’s made for you.” The positioning hyperlinks to a cellphone quantity that hyperlinks to a Chatbot which, whereas I really like you expensive reader, I used to be not going to do. However if you wish to, be our visitor and report again. However you do get that robotic vibe from it.

Sticking to simply the trailer although, there are some actually nice reveals and pictures right here. The “spouse” being handcuffed to the chair initially. Her forearm being burned on the finish. The blood, the automotive, the weapons, none of it fairly provides up. Which we predict is unbelievable.

Companion will kick off 2025 on January 10 solely in theaters. Are you ?
