Tessa Thompson and Lily James star in trailer for crime drama Little Woods

January 14, 2019 by Amie Cranswick

Neon has debuted the first poster and trailer for the upcoming crime drama Little Woods. Written and directed by Nia DaCosta, the film stars Tessa Thompson, Lily James, Luke Kirby, James Badge Dale, and Lance Reddick; take a look here…

Ollie (Tessa Thompson) is a reformed drug runner in an economically depressed small town in North Dakota, who was caught coming back from Canada with medicine for her terminally ill mother and has been toeing the line ever since. After her mother dies, Ollie’s sister Deb (Lily James) shows up on her doorstep with a hungry child and an unplanned pregnancy. Ollie can only see one viable option: quickly raise money to pay back the bank and hold onto their mother’s home, so Deb can raise her family safely away from her abusive ex. But to do that, she’ll need to return to the dangerous way of life she thought she’d left behind.

Writer/director Nia DaCosta won Tribeca Film Festival’s 2018 Nora Ephron Award for this emotionally-charged small-town modern Western about two women in rural America. Their sister bond, beautifully exemplified by the authentic and lived-in relationship between Tessa Thompson’s Ollie and Lily James’ Deb, is what keeps them connected but can also tie them down.

Little Woods is set for release on April 19th.
