Ahead of its release this August, Greenwich Entertainment has shared a poster and trailer for the upcoming comedy Coup!
Written and directed by Joseph Schuman and Austin Stark, the film follows a rebellious cook as he leads a revolt against his wealthy, entitled employers on their isolated estate during the 1918 Spanish flu. Watch the trailer below…
Isolated on a seaside estate during the 1918 Spanish Flu, an entitled journalist (Billy Magnussen) and his socialite wife (Sarah Gadon) take in a mysterious grifter as a private cook (Peter Sarsgaard). When the plague descends on the island, the wily cook rouses his fellow staff to rebel and take over the mansion. Their wealthy employer suspects the cook’s coup is part of a more sinister agenda, and mind games between master and servant escalate into boisterous class warfare.
Coup! stars Peter Sarsgaard, Billy Magnussen, Sarah Gadon, Skye P. Marshall, Faran Tahir, Kristine Nielsen, and Fisher Stevens.
Coup! is set to arrive in cinemas on August 2nd.
