Promising Young Woman is a rape revenge thriller film that everyone is talking about – and it’s finally got a release date.
The first trailer for the film dropped all the way back in late 2019 and featured that violin version of Britney Spears’ Toxic, so the film’s release has been a long time coming.
The film follows Cassie who everyone said was a ‘promising young woman’, until a mysterious event abruptly derailed her future. As the story unfolds nothing in Cassie’s life is what it appears to be, as she lives a secret double life by night to right the wrongs of the past in a thrilling story of a woman seeking to avenge her best friend, who was a victim of rape.
Written and directed by Emerald Fennell (Killing Eve) it stars Carey Mulligan in the lead role who has already been tipped for success at the upcoming award season, while the supporting cast features a host of big names including Laverne Cox, Jennifer Coolidge, Alison Brie and Connie Britton.
The film was originally scheduled to be released in cinemas April 2020, but due to theatre closures across the globe following the coronavirus outbreak it was pushed back ‘indefinitely’.
