With the first trailer set to land next week, Focus Features has released a poster and three images from the upcoming thriller Thoroughbreds. Written and directed by Cory Finley, the film stars Olivia Cooke, Anya Taylor-Joy, Anton Yelchin, and Paul Sparks; take a look below…
Childhood friends Lily and Amanda reconnect in suburban Connecticut after years of growing apart. Lily has turned into a polished, upper-class teenager, with a fancy boarding school on her transcript and a coveted internship on her resume; Amanda has developed a sharp wit and her own particular attitude, but all in the process of becoming a social outcast. Though they initially seem completely at odds, the pair bond over Lily’s contempt for her oppressive stepfather, Mark, and as their friendship grows, they begin to bring out one another’s most destructive tendencies. Their ambitions lead them to hire a local hustler, Tim, and take matters into their own hands to set their lives straight.
Thoroughbreds is set for release on March 9th.
