The movie’s two-and-a-half-minute trailer shows how Drea’s life falls apart after “17 years meticulously curating the perfect life” when she sends a lewd video to Max that he then apparently shares with the entire school. One moment shows Drea punch Max in the face; the next, she throws a framed photo of him at a wall.
“Max ruined my life!” Drea says in the trailer. “He’ll never get away with this.”
“I wish we could hire people to take them down,” Eleanor tells Drea, who replies: “We should team up and do each other’s revenge … don’t you want to make her pay?”
Later in the trailer, Drea gives Eleanor a high-society makeover and sets her up to publicly reveal that Max is “a fake-woke, misogynist hypocrite.”
“And then … we’re gonna kill him,” Drea tells Eleanor as she puts her hand around Eleanor’s head.
“You’re not serious,” Eleanor says, to which Drea responds, “No, I’m not f—ing serious,” allowing Eleanor to sigh in apparent relief.
Though Drea says she’s joking about killing Max, Eleanor’s voiceover in the trailer identifies teenage girls as “psychopaths” as increasingly intense moments play out. From Drea dropping something into a cooking pot, a character’s claim that Drea framed them, police apprehending teenagers in the woods and an apparent car crash, to Drea drawing a smiley face in window condensation, her intentions may not be as lighthearted as they appear.
“Are you in therapy?” Eleanor asks Drea toward the trailer’s end.
“God, no, why?” Drea responds.
Beyond Mendes, Hawke, Abrams and Capri, the new movie also stars Rish Shah, Talia Ryder, Jonathan Daviss,Maia Reficcoand Paris Berelc, with Alisha Boe andSophie Turner.
Do Revengeis available to stream on Netflixstarting Sept. 16.
