A24 has released the new trailer for Oscar-nominated director Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster. The romantic satire stars Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz, and also features John C. Reilly, Lea Seydoux, Olivia Colman and Ben Whishaw. Check out The Lobster trailer below!
In this highly imaginative, delightfully absurdist comedy from visionary director Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth), Colin Farrell stars as David, a man who has just been dumped by his wife. To make matters worse, David lives in a society where single people have 45 days to find true love, or else they are turned into the animal of their choice and released into the woods. David is kept at the mysterious HOTEL while he searches for a new partner, and after several romantic misadventures decides to make a daring escape to abandon this world. He ultimately joins up with a rebel faction known as The Loners, a group founded on a complete rejection of romance. But once there David meets an enigmatic stranger (Rachel Weisz) who stirs up unexpected and strong feelings within him…
Lanthimos penned the script with Efthimis Filippou and produced the film along with Ed Guiney, Lee Magiday and Ceci Dempsey. Sam Lavender, Andrew Lowe and Tessa Ross executive produced. Element Pictures, Scarlet Films, Faliro House, Haut et Court, Lemming Film produced The Lobster in association with Protagonist Pictures and Limp. Protagonist Pictures is handling international sales.
A24 will release The Lobster in U.S. theaters on May 13.
