Trailer for Harvey Weinstein-inspired thriller The Assistant starring Julia Garner

December 6, 2019 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its release this January, a poster and trailer have arrived online for the upcoming drama The Assistant. Written and directed by Kitty Green, the film follows a day in the life of Jane (Julia Garner), a college graduate who decides to take a stand against the degradation she is faced with in her job as a junior assistant to a powerful entertainment mogul; take a look below…

“The Assistant” follows one day in the life of Jane (Julia Garner), a recent college graduate and aspiring film producer, who has recently landed her dream job as a junior assistant to a powerful entertainment mogul. Her day is much like any other assistant’s – making coffee, changing the paper in the copy machine, ordering lunch, arranging travel, taking phone messages, onboarding a new hire. But as Jane follows her daily routine, she, and we, grow increasingly aware of the abuse that insidiously colors every aspect of her work day, an accumulation of degradations against which Jane decides to take a stand, only to discover the true depth of the system into which she has entered.

The Assistant is set for release on January 31st, and features a cast that also includes Matthew Macfadyen, Makenzie Leigh, Kristine Froseth, Jon Orsini, and Noah Robbins.
