Lionsgate has released the new trailer for Antebellum (USA - 2020), the horror film written and directed by Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz, here in their first feature film.
Antebellum is built on two different time planes, with two stories that, though very different, are interconnected. The first sheds light on an African American woman exploited as a slave in the cotton fields in 1860, just before the American War of Secession in 1861. The girl will suffer repeated violence at the hands of slaveholders.
Instead, the second story focuses on Veronica Henley (Janelle Monáe), a successful author and career woman living in New York City. The year is 2020. She will find herself trapped in a terrifying reality and must shed light on the mystery surrounding her before it is too late.
But what does the slave girl and Veronica have in common?
In the cast of Antebellum there are also Jena Malone (The Neon Demon, Nocturnal Animals), Gabourey Sidibe (Precious, American Horror Story), Kiersey Clemons, Jack Huston, Robert Aramayo, Eric Lange, Lily Cowles, Marque Richardson, and Devyn A. Tyler
The film is produced by Sean McKittrick (Escape: Get Out, Us), Raymond Mansfield (Escape: Get Out) and Zev Foreman (Killer Joe).
The new release date for the film has been set for August 21, 2020.
