Trailer for trippy Sundance breakout Black Bear starring Aubrey Plaza, Christopher Abbott and Sarah Gadon

October 8, 2020 by EJ Moreno

Black Bear, the latest film from writer-director Lawrence Michael Levine, looks to be a dizzying experience based on this first trailer. In the first look at this breakout hit from the Sundance Film Festival, we see Aubrey Plaza as Allison, a filmmaker needing inspiration, who goes to stay in a lake house with a couple, Gabe (Christopher Abbott) and Blair (Sarah Gadon).

The trailer offers a look at the film’s unique style, allowing you to get into the mind of a creator like never before.  The film’s star, Aubrey Plaza, spoke to Entertainment Weekly about Black Bear calling it, “beautifully written” and adds that it feels “almost like a meditation on your own worst fears.”

Check out the trailer here…

Black Bear is an intriguing and unexpected comedic thriller starring Aubrey Plaza, Christopher Abbott, and Sarah Gadon. At a remote lake house in the Adirondack Mountains, a couple entertains an out-of-town guest looking for inspiration in her filmmaking. The group quickly falls into a calculated game of desire, manipulation, and jealousy, unaware of how dangerously intertwined their lives will soon become.

Black Bear hits theaters and VOD on December 4th.
