A24 has released the
first trailer for Jeremy Saulnier's (Blue Ruin) Green Room. In the horror-thriller,
Patrick Stewart shatters his lovable figure to play Darcy, a neo-Nazi club
owner who traps a punk band in the green room after they witness something they
shouldn't have.
Opening on April 1 (limited
release), and then April 17 (wide), the Green Room also stars Anton Yelchin,
Imogen Poots, Alia Shawkat, Joe Cole, Mark Webber, Callum Turner, Eric
Edelstein, Macon Blair, and Kai Lennox.
Green Room is a brilliantly crafted and wickedly fun horror-thriller
starring Patrick Stewart as a diabolical club owner who squares off against an
unsuspecting but resilient young punk band.
Down on their luck punk rockers The Ain’t Rights are finishing up a long
and unsuccessful tour, and are about to call it quits when they get an
unexpected booking at an isolated, run-down club deep in the backwoods of
Oregon. What seems merely to be a third-rate gig escalates into something
much more sinister when they witness an act of violence backstage that they
weren’t meant to see. Now trapped backstage, they must face off against
the club’s depraved owner, Darcy Banker (Stewart), a man who will do anything
to protect the secrets of his nefarious enterprise. But while Darcy and
his henchmen think the band will be easy to get rid of, The Ain’t Rights prove
themselves much more cunning and capable than anyone expected, turning the
tables on their unsuspecting captors and setting the stage for the ultimate
life-or-death showdown.
Intense, emotional, and ingeniously twisted, Green Room is genre
filmmaking at its best and most original. Saulnier continues to build his
reputation as one of the most exciting and distinctive directors working today,
with a movie that’s completely different from his previous, highly
acclaimed Blue Ruin, but which is just as risk-taking and even more full
of twists. The entire cast deliver first-rate performances, but Patrick Stewart
gives a transformative and brilliantly devious turn as Darcy—elegant yet
lethal, droll yet terrifying, Stewart makes the film simply unforgettable.
