Just last month, A24 unveiled a poster for writer/director Alex Garland’s upcoming horror film Men, and said the teaser trailer would be online the next day. That teaser trailer is embedded above. Now A24 has done the same thing they did last month: they unveiled a new poster for Men, and said a trailer for the film will be online tomorrow. This time we’ll be getting a full trailer, so while we wait for that to arrive, you can check out the new poster here:
Men tells the story of
a young woman who goes on a solo vacation to the English countryside after the death of her ex-husband.
The young woman in question is played by Jessie Buckley, who is up for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in The Lost Daughter. Buckley is joined in the cast by Rory Kinnear, who played John Clare on Penny Dreadful and was Bill Tanner in the last four James Bond movies, and Paapa Essiedu, who viewers may know from Gangs of London and I May Destroy You.
Men was produced by Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich, with Cahal Bannon co-producing.
Garland previously wrote and directed the films Ex Machina and Annihilation, and reportedly did some uncredited directing work on the comic book adaptation Dredd, which he also scripted. He has also written 28 Days Later, Sunshine, and Never Let Me Go, and he created the series Devs. The films The Beach and The Tesseract were based on novels he wrote. We first heard about Men in November of 2020, at which time Garland simply described it as “a low budget horror movie, set in the UK.”
Men is scheduled to receive a theatrical release on May 20th.
