John Hawkes takes special interest in Elizabeth Olsen in the trailer for Martha Marcy May Marlene

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

After hearing so much about MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE from Chris Bumbray, we finally get to see a trailer for the film.

Martha (Elizabeth Olsen) finds herself at a cult compound inhabited by Patrick (John Hawkes) and his minions. From the trailer it seems like Martha thinks that she’s in a safe, beautiful place until Patrick starts to speak. His obvious obsession with her, which immediately becomes creepy when he says that she looks more like a “Marcy May”, is only the beginning of a more eerie ride.

With a much buzz about performance form Olsen (yes, she related to Mary-Kate & Ashley) and the already amazing Hawkes, this looks like it will be as remarkable as Bumbray claims it to be.

“MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE stars Elizabeth Olsen as Martha, a damaged woman haunted by painful memories and increasing paranoia, who struggles to reassimilate with her family after fleeing a cult.”
