A vague first teaser trailer has now been followed by a much more detailed official trailer for Companion, a new horror movie from Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, and producer Zach Cregger (Barbarian).
The trailer unveils the sci-fi twist behind the upcoming genre film, which stars Sophie Thatcher (Heretic, The Boogeyman) as a sex bot on a mission of bloody vengeance.
You can watch the official trailer for the sci-fi/horror movie Companion below. Companion is set to hit theaters on January 31, 2025.
The film marks the directorial debut of Drew Hancock, who also penned the script.
“The silver lining of showing the audience [that] this is a movie about a robot is it’s a way to kind of get ahead of anyone dismissing it as another robot movie,” Hancock shared.
“Because it’d be so easy to just be like, ‘This is M3GAN,’ or, ‘This is the Megan Fox movie [Subservience].’ It’s a little different to be like, ‘No, this is a robot movie, but it’s not like any other robot movie that’s out right now.’ It’s not A.I. gone wrong, it’s A.I. gone right.”
The film also features Rupert Friend (Separation), Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows), Lukas Gage (You), Megan Suri (It Lives Inside), and Jack Quaid (Scream, The Boys).
Companion has been rated “R” by the MPA for: “Strong violence, sexual content, and language throughout.”
The movie is produced by BoulderLight’s Raphael Margules and J.D. Lifshitz, along with Vertigo’s Roy Lee. BoulderLight’s Tracy Rosenblum and Vertigo’s Andrew Childs are serving as executive producers.
New Line Cinema presents Companion, a BoulderLight Pictures production in association with Vertigo Entertainment and Subconscious.
