The directorial debut for Alex Scharfman (producer of House of Spoils) centers on Elliot (Rudd) and his daughter Ridley (Ortega) as they head to a weekend retreat hosted by Elliot's billionaire boss Dell Leopold (Richard E. Grant, The Franchise). On the way there, they hit and kill a unicorn with their car. But what they see as a bizarre tragedy — and possibly a crime? — Dell sees as an opportunity. He and his ultra-rich Leopold family (played by The Bear's Will Poulter and Only Murders in the Building's Téa Leoni) decide to research the poor, dead unicorn's curative properties. According to the film's first trailer, it might even be the cure for cancer. ("That's the biggest one!" Poulter's character exclaims.)
But if you thought killing a unicorn (and exploiting it for dubious studies) was already crazy, the second half of Death of a Unicorn's trailer kicks it into high gear. Turns out, there's another unicorn on the loose. This one has more of a snarling, werewolf vibe — and it is bloodthirsty as can be. Basically, it looks like that one killer unicorn scene from Cabin in the Woods walked so this could run.
Death of a Unicorn hits theaters this spring.
