Yesterday, the official YouTube channel of A24, the owners of the theatrical distribution rights of Under the Silver Lake (2018) in the USA, released the first trailer for the movie. This is the new title by writer and director David Robert Mitchell after his successful previous film It Follows (2014).
Under the Silver Lake (2018) centers on Sam, an affable but aimless young man who becomes an unwitting detective who quickly finds himself in over his head as he investigates the mysterious disappearance of his beautiful neighbor, with whom he has fallen in love. As he combs through Los Angeles searching for any kind of clues he can find, he stumbles upon a larger, more sinister conspiracy than he ever imagined, involving billionaires, celebrities, urban myths, and even pop culture as we know it.
Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, this movie counts with an interesting cast of names like Andrew Garfield, Sydney Sweeney, Riley Keough, Topher Grace, Laura-Leigh Claire, Rex Linn, Chris Gann, Callie Hernandez, Summer Bishil and Riki Lindhome.
Regarding this first trailer, Under the Silver Lake (2018) feels like might be closer to a mystery crime thriller well dressed with comedy, far from the creepy horrific tone of the director’s previous work It Follows (2014). And so far it looks good, no?
