Guillermo del Toro’s Nightmare Alley gets a new trailer and character posters

November 18, 2021 by Amie Cranswick

Searchlight Pictures has released a new trailer for Nightmare Alley, ahead of its arrival in cinemas this December. Directed by Guillermo del Toro, the star-studded thriller follows Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper), a down on his luck ambitious man with a talent for manipulating people, as he teams up with a mysterious psychiatrist (Cate Blanchett) in a plot to con a dangerous tycoon; check out the new trailer below, along with the official one-shot and character posters featuring Cooper, Blanchett, David Strathairn, Mary Steenburgen, Richard Jenkins, Ron Perlman, Rooney Mara, Toni Collette and Willem Dafoe…

When charismatic but down-on-his-luck Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper) endears himself to clairvoyant Zeena (Toni Collette) and her has-been mentalist husband Pete (David Strathairn) at a traveling carnival, he crafts a golden ticket to success, using this newly acquired knowledge to grift the wealthy elite of 1940s New York society. With the virtuous Molly (Rooney Mara) loyally by his side, Stanton plots to con a dangerous tycoon (Richard Jenkins) with the aid of a mysterious psychiatrist (Cate Blanchett) who might be his most formidable opponent yet.

Nightmare Alley is set for release on December 17th.
