Crazy Trailer For Sarah Paulson's Messed Up-Looking Psychological Thriller RUN
“You can’t escape a mother’s love.”
The first trailer has been released for an upcoming new psychological thriller titled Run. The movie stars Sarah Paulson as an intense and overbearing mother to her teenage daughter, who is played by Kiera Allen. She is raising her daughter in isolation, but in this story, the daughter discovers that her mom is more dangerous and threatening than it appears.
This movie looks like it tells a seriously jacked up story. A story that I’ll gladly watch! The film comes from Searching director Aneesh Chaganty. The movie is described as an “intimate thriller” which “takes place in one house, and the film is focused almost exclusively on just two characters.”
It’s explained that “Diane has raised her daughter, who uses a wheelchair (as does Allen), in isolation, keeping her totally sequestered from the outside world. But when Chloe uncovers her mother’s sinister secrets, everything she knows begins to unravel.” When previously talking about starring in the film, Allen told EW:
“I believe this will be the first studio movie ever starring a wheelchair user, and just to be part of a historical moment like that is really, really exciting. But the more exciting thing for me was just the character and the story, and to be able to play a part that was really about the character and not about the disability. And it was written so richly, and with such specificity and detail, which really gave me a lot to play with. But I never felt like he was casting just to be inclusive, I really felt like it was a collaboration.”
In a separate interview with Collider, Allen addressed the opportunity of playing a disabled character, saying:
“To see a character in a wheelchair who is, not to give too much away, but who is really kind of a hero and is her own person, and has her own mind and her own journey independent of her disability, and to see a character whose journey is really not defined by her disability; it’s defined by who she is as a person is a really cool thing because I’m an actor, I’m a person first. I don’t come in to play a disability, I come in to play a person and to have that opportunity is really cool.”
Run hits theaters on May 8, 2020. Watch the trailer below and tell us what you think!
