Wicked Fun First Trailer for the Action Horror Film DUST BUNNY Starring Mads Mikkelsen and Sigourney Weaver
Roadside Attractions has released the first trailer for Dust Bunny, a new horror thriller that marks the feature directorial debut of Bryan Fuller. This looks like it will be an awesome and fun flick! I’m excited to watch this!
The story blends action-packed hitman carnage with fairy tale-style horror, following a young girl who believes a monster under her bed devoured her family. Her mysterious neighbor, played by Mads Mikkelsen, reluctantly steps in to help, setting off a brutal fight for survival against assassins and nightmares that may not just be in her imagination.
The official synopsis teases: “In visionary creator Bryan Fuller's fantastical & wickedly inventive feature directorial debut Dust Bunny, a 10 year-old girl who joins forces with her hitman neighbor to confront each other's monsters. Ten year-old Aurora has a mysterious neighbor (Mikkelsen) who kills real-life monsters; he's a hitman for hire.
“So when Aurora needs help killing the monster that she believes ate her entire family, she procures his services. Suspecting that Aurora's parents may have fallen victim to assassins gunning for him, the neighbor guiltily takes the job. To protect her, he'll need to battle an onslaught of assassins and accept that some monsters are real.”
Alongside Mikkelsen, the film also stars Sigourney Weaver, David Dastmalchian, Sheila Atim, and newcomer Sophie Slone as Aurora.
Fuller, known for his work on Hannibal, American Gods, and Pushing Daisies, steps behind the camera for the first time with this stylized action-horror mashup. The movie looks like a wickedly cool new entry in the assassin subgenre with a horror twist.
The film is set to premiere this week in the Midnight Madness section of the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival before hitting theaters nationwide on December 5th.
