Teaser Trailer For Matthew Vaughn's New Spy Thriller ARGYLLE Featuring an All-Star Cast
The first teaser trailer has been released for director Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming spy thriller Argylle. The movie features an all-star cast that includes Henry Cavill, Bruce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, John Cena, Dua Lipa, Bryan Cranston, Sofia Boutella, Ariana DeBose, Catherine O’Hara, and Samuel L. Jackson.
The teaser is a promo for a full trailer that is supposed to drop tomorrow, and it features Howard looking on in terror as Rockwell throws her cat off a building ledge, and it falls in slow motion. The synopsis for the film reads:
Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World franchise) is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books—which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate—begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past.
Accompanied by Aiden (Sam Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (carrying Alfie in her backpack) races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur.
This sounds like a fun flick that is in the same vein as the classic 80s film Romancing the Stone. The movie was originally marketed as being an adaptation of a spy novel of the same name from author Ellie Conway, but it turns out that novel doesn’t exist and the author is actually a fictional character who Howard plays in the film.
It was previously revealed that this will be the first of at least three films in the franchise and is set in America, London, and multiple locations across the world.
Jason Fuchs wrote the script and is producing along with Vaughn’s regular collaborators Adam Bohling and David Reid. Vaughn previously said, “When I read this early draft manuscript I felt it was the most incredible and original spy franchise since Ian Fleming’s books of the ‘50s. This is going to reinvent the spy genre.”
Oh, and the cat in the film, Aflie, is played by Chip, Vaughn’s own pet cat. Argylle will be released in theaters on February 2, 2024.
