Magnolia Pictures has released a new poster and trailer for the sci-fi drama Little Joe. Directed by Jessica Hausner, the film stars Emily Beecham as Alice, a plant breed who has engineered a new flower that can makes its owner happy when taken care of correctly, until she suspects the creation isn’t as harmless as it seems. Joining Beecham in the cast are Ben Whishaw, Kerry Fox, and Kit Connor; take a look here…
LITTLE JOE follows Alice (Emily Beecham), a single mother and dedicated senior plant breeder at a corporation engaged in developing new species. She has engineered a special crimson flower, remarkable not only for its beauty but also for its therapeutic value: if kept at the ideal temperature, fed properly and spoken to regularly, this plant makes its owner happy. Against company policy, Alice takes one home as a gift for her teenage son, Joe. They christen it ‘Little Joe.’ But as their plant grows, so too does Alice’s suspicion that her new creation may not be as harmless as its nickname suggests.
Little Joe is set for release on December 6th.
