The first trailer has dropped for Death of a Unicorn, the darkly comedic fantasy from writer-director Alex Scharfman, and it gives audiences a look into a weird and wonderful tale about family, corporate greed, and the mythical world of unicorns.
Luminaries Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Richard E. Grant, Téa Leoni, and Will Poulter will star in the film. Based on a deceptively pedestrian road trip that suddenly treads fantastical ground, a father and teenage daughter played by Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega hit and kill a unicorn en route to a remote weekend retreat. What begins as a tragic accident rapidly degenerates into a surreal nightmare when Rudd’s billionaire boss finds out about the unicorn’s miraculous curative properties and plots to use them for his financial benefit. The trailer promises a mix of absurd humor and dark commentary, with Rudd’s signature wit set against Ortega’s sharp, rebellious performance. Richard E. Grant shines as a corporate mogul whose obsession with power and immortality creates tension among the ensemble. Téa Leoni and Will Poulter also feature in pivotal roles, adding depth to a cast that balances comedy, drama, and fantasy.
Alex Scharfman is known for his offbeat storytelling, and here he promises an inventive take on the collision between humanity and myth. The film explores themes of greed, morality, and the bond between father and daughter against a backdrop of corporate absurdity and magical realism.
Death of a Unicorn marks one of 2025’s most anticipated releases, with its unique premise and star-studded cast already generating buzz.
