Just last month we got an update on Hideo Nakata’s CHATROOM via some new stills and here we are today with another update for the flick! This time we’ve got something a little better than stills though, we’ve got a brand new trailer!
That’s right ladies and gents! Courtesy of Nippon Cinema we’ve got the latest trailer for CHATROOM over in our videos section, which means you can scroll down below to check that shite out right now! The trailer doesn’t scream anything special but it seems to definitely give us a good idea of what we’re dealing with in CHATROOM. Check out the trailer below to see for yourself!
When jaded teens Jim, Eva, Emily and Mo meet William online, they’re seduced by his charisma. But William isn’t what he seems. He’s calculating and manipulative and doesn’t have time for people in the real world. Jim is vulnerable and he has no idea how dangerous his new friendship with William will be. When Jim confesses he’s on anti-depressants, William knows he’s found a victim. He vows to help Jim off his drugs, and the rest of the group fall in line. What begins as friendly advice to help Jim becomes twisted and Eva and Mo realise the deadly game William’s playing, but the wheels are in motion. Jim is set on a path of self- destruction, and is going to do the unthinkable. As Eva, Emily and Mo try to save Jim, William begins a terrifying game of cat and mouse chasing them across the internet, shutting down their systems, and cutting them off from his victim. Fantasy meets reality when William and Jim are face to face in rush hour on the underground. Without the faceless security of the online world, everything becomes real. It’s now a race against time to save Jim, but the clock is ticking… and we fear someone must die.
Now that’s a pretty detailed synopsis, yet it does a decent job of not giving too much away. CHATROOM stars Aaron Johnson, Imogen Poots (below), Matthew Beard, Hannah Murray, Daniel Kaluuya and Megan Dodds. It’ll be hitting Cannes this month followed by an August 11th release in France. We’ll be keeping our eyes on this one so be sure to check back for updates as we hear them!
