Lionsgate will be bringing the gripping thriller Anniversary to theatres on October 29th – and with that date just two months away, a trailer for the film has now dropped online and can be seen in the embed above.
Directed by Jan Komasa, whose previous credits include Suicide Room, Warsaw 44, Corpus Christi, and The Hater, Anniversary marks the feature writing debut of Lori Rosene-Gambino, who crafted the story with Komasa. The director assembled an impressive cast for the film that includes Diane Lane (The Outsiders), Kyle Chandler (Super 8), Zoey Deutch (Zombieland: Double Tap), Dylan O’Brien (Teen Wolf), Daryl McCormack (The Woman in the Wall), Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Madeline Brewer (The Handmaid’s Tale), and Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton).
Here’s the synopsis: In this gripping thriller, a close-knit family is caught in the turmoil of a controversial rising movement known as “The Change.” Ellen and Paul (Diane Lane and Kyle Chandler) witness their lives fall apart when Ellen’s former student Liz (Phoebe Dynevor) reappears and starts dating their son (Dylan O’Brien). As Liz becomes a part of the Taylor family, tensions rise and loyalties are tested. Liz’s role in “The Change” brings simmering conflicts to the surface, unraveling the fabric of the family just as the nation itself stands on edge during an alarming and challenging time of uncertainty.
