Normal People actor Paul Mescal is heading to the big screen.
The Irish star will join forces with Emily Watson and Game of Thrones star Aisling Franciosi for A24's God’s Creatures, and the first trailer for the dark drama has just been released.
The thriller is described as a ‘rural gothic’ piece, with Mescal’s character, Brian, at the centre of some nasty allegations in the small fishing village he and his family reside.
His mum, Aileen (Watson) tries her best to cover up the supposed crime by telling the police he was with her the night of the serious incident.
Watch the trailer below:
From the first trailer, it seems the truth isn’t easy to come by, as Aileen seems to be lying about her son’s alibi. Meanwhile, Brain is blaming his mother for all of his misfortunes.
In the gritty trailer, a homecoming for Brian quickly descends into devastation when the allegations come to light, but the crime has yet to be revealed.
Mescal is making his big break in the movie world following the incredible success of 2020’s Normal People, which earned him an Emmy Award nomination.
Not only does he have God’s Creatures coming out, fans can also look forward to Aftersun alongside Celia Rowlson-Hall, as well as Carmen and sci-fi thriller Foe.
Don’t worry though, the Connell star isn’t going too far away from his indie production roots, and recently told Variety that he has no intention of becoming Hollywood’s latest blockbuster star.
He explained: “I’m very happy with films that I’m getting to make right now. That’s a wheelhouse I feel like I’m more comfortable in right now in my life and what I want.
"There's nothing that I'm yearning to do. But the minute I read it, I'll know in my head."
God’s Creatures will hit US cinemas on 30th September, but a UK release date has yet to be confirmed.
