Gripping Trailer for Justine Bateman's Directorial Feature Debut VIOLET Starring Olivia Munn

A new trailer has been released for the film Violet, the directorial debut of Justine Bateman, star of the great ‘80s series Family Ties. Bateman also wrote the script, and Olivia Munn (Magic Mike, The Newsroom) stars in the film as Violet, a woman who has a lot of inner turmoil and is looking to make some major changes. Munn is joined in the cast by Luke Bracey, Dennis Boutsikaris, Erica Ash, and Zach Gordon.

Here’s the synopsis:

What would you do if you weren’t afraid? Justine Bateman's intriguing and immersive debut film follows Violet Calder (Olivia Munn) as she realizes she can no longer ignore the daily barrage of self-criticisms (voiced by Justin Theroux) that clouds her life. These self-criticisms cause her to make fear-based decisions and hold her back from the kind of professional, personal, and romantic life she knows she wants. Unsure how to live a life free from that self-doubt, like her childhood friend Red (Luke Bracey), Violet realizes she has no choice but to travel the road that's more frightening than the fear that holds her back: Doing everything differently.

This looks like a really interesting deep dive into the psyche of someone who is really battling with their inner demons. Check out the trailer and posters for the film below, and watch Violet in select US theaters (NYC and LA) on October 29th, then on VOD on November 9th.
