The trailer for a new film titled Black Bear has been released online through Momentum Pictures. The film stars Aubrey Plaza, Christopher Abbott and Sarah Gadon and is described as a comedic thriller revolving around a couple and a guest who are holed up in a remote guest house. The movie will release in North America in December with other territories to follow.
At a remote lake house, a filmmaker named Allison (Aubrey Plaza) arrives to play house guest to a troubled couple (Christopher Abbott and Sarah Gadon), who have eschewed their life in the city after inheriting a family retreat. Battling writer’s block, Allison sparks a calculated game of desire and jealousy in pursuit of a new work that blurs the boundaries of autobiography and invention. BLACK BEAR explores the complex nature of relationships, gender dynamics, and the erratic nature of love as it traces the conflict between our lust and our longing for internal harmony.
Lawrence Michael Levine wrote the script and directs.
4th December is the date for American audiences. We’ll keep you posted on news on a UK release. Here’s the trailer.
