The trailer for Death of a Unicorn has dropped, giving fans a first look at the darkly funny and surreal A24 film starring Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd. This quirky black comedy follows a father and daughter who accidentally run over a unicorn—a moment that sets off a chain of bizarre and morally complex events.
The film’s plot thickens as the duo tries to cover up the incident, only to discover that the unicorn’s blood and horn shavings have miraculous healing properties, including the potential to cure cancer. As shown in the trailer, the pair faces mounting pressure from a billionaire boss, played by Richard E. Grant, who is determined to exploit the unicorn’s powers.
Directed by Alex Scharfman in his feature debut, Death of a Unicorn promises a mix of dark humor, absurdity, and compelling performances. Scharfman previously produced Blow the Man Down and Resurrection, and his fresh take on storytelling is evident in the trailer’s quirky tone. Adding to the unique vibe of the film, John Carpenter has teamed up with his son Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies to compose the score.
The cast is rounded out by an impressive lineup, including Will Poulter, Téa Leoni, Anthony Carrigan, Sunita Mani, and Jessica Hynes. Filming took place in Hungary during the SAG-AFTRA strike after the production received a special waiver.
For longtime fans of Jenna Ortega, who has captivated audiences in Wednesday and Beetlejuice 2, Death of a Unicorn offers another opportunity to see her versatility shine in an unconventional role. The film is set to hit theaters in spring 2025, making it one of the most anticipated releases on A24’s slate.
Watch the trailer now and get ready for a darkly comedic adventure that blends the fantastical with the relatable. Stay tuned to Trevor Decker News for the latest updates on Jenna Ortega’s exciting projects!
