A vague first teaser trailer has paved the way for a much more in-depth official trailer for Companion today, the new horror movie from Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, and producer Zach Cregger (Barbarian). It reveals the sci-fi twist of the upcoming genre movie, which stars Sophie Thatcher (Heretic, The Boogeyman) as a sex bot seeking bloody vengeance.
Watch the official trailer for sci-fi/horror movie Companion below.
Companion will release in theaters on January 31, 2025.
The film marks the directorial debut of Drew Hancock, who also wrote the script.
“The silver lining of showing the audience [that] this is a movie about a robot is it’s a way to kind of get ahead of anyone dismissing it as another robot movie,” Hancock explains to EW today. “Because it’d be so easy to just be like, ‘This is M3GAN,’ or, ‘This is the Megan Fox movie [Subservience].’ It’s a little different to be like, ‘No, this is a robot movie, but it’s not like any other robot movie that’s out right now.’ It’s not A.I. gone wrong, it’s A.I. gone right.”
Rupert Friend (Separation), Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Lukas Gage (“You”), Megan Suri (It Lives Inside), and Jack Quaid (Scream, “The Boys”) also star.
Companion has been rated “R” by the MPA for…
“Strong violence, sexual content, and language throughout.”
