Bad Times at the El Royale Dakota Johnson Drew Goddard

It's been a while since we saw the first trailer for writer/director Drew Goddard's BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE, and with the film's release date just over a month away a new trailer has arrived online and can be seen below.

Earlier this year, Lewis Pullman had a role in THE STRANGERS: PREY AT NIGHT, now he's in BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE, where the new trailer promotes the fact that it's about "seven strangers"… but while there is a man in a mask in the new film, this one is played by Jeff Bridges.

Also in the cast are Dakota Johnson as the older sister of an impressionable Southern girl played by Cailee Spaeny, Jon Hamm as a vacuum cleaner salesman, Cynthia Erivo as a singer named Darlene Sweet, and Chris Hemsworth as a cult leader.

BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE has the following synopsis: 

Seven strangers, each with a secret to bury, meet at Lake Tahoe's El Royale, a rundown hotel with a dark past. Over the course of one fateful night, everyone will have a last shot at redemption – before everything goes to hell.

Pullman is the hotel concierge, while Bridges' character is described as being a "down-on-his-luck priest" who doesn't seem very priestly.

BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE is set to reach theatres on October 5th, and it looks like these bad times are going to make for an entertaining viewing experience.
