Magnolia Pictures & Magnet Releasing have shared a trailer for Thelma, the feature debut from writer-director Josh Margolin.
The action comedy follows Thelma (June Squibb), a 93-year-old grandmother who is scammed by a caller pretending to be her grandson, as she sets out on a quest across L.A. to claim back what is hers with the help of her friend Ben (Richard Roundtree). Watch the trailer below…
THELMA is a poignant action-comedy that gives veteran Oscar nominee June Squibb (NEBRASKA) her first leading role and features the final performance of trailblazing actor Richard Roundtree (SHAFT). Squibb, who did most of her own stunts in the film, plays Thelma Post, a feisty 93-year-old grandmother who gets conned by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson (The White Lotus’ Fred Hechinger) and sets out on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles, accompanied by an aging friend (Roundtree) and his motorized scooter, to reclaim what was taken from her.
Joining June Squibb and Richard Roundtree in the cast are Fred Hechinger, Parker Posey, Clark Gregg, and Malcolm McDowell.
