PRETTY LETHAL Slays In The Official Trailer For Vicky Jewson’s SXSW Action Pic
Formerly known as Ballerina Overdrive, director Vicky Jewson’s new action thriller now gets a trailer ahead of SXSW for Pretty Lethal, featuring Uma Thurman, Lana Condor, Millicent Simmonds, Iris Apatow, Maddie Ziegler, Avantika, and Michael Culkin.
An action-packed thriller where five ballerinas, on their way to a prestigious dance competition, are barely on speaking terms when their bus breaks down in a remote forest. With no other options, they reluctantly seek shelter at an unsettling roadside inn run by Devora Kasimer (Uma Thurman), a reclusive former ballet prodigy. From the moment they arrive, something feels wrong—and their worst instincts prove right. As the situation turns deadly, the fractured team must set aside rivalries and weaponize years of brutal training, turning grace, discipline, and even pointe shoes into tools for survival.
Obligatory promises R-rated action goodness aside, I have mixed feelings about the music of a beloved EDM group I grew up to as part of this campaign. It kind of feels personal to me but, eh. It’s a thing.
Pretty Lethal kicks off at SXSW on March 13, followed by Prime Video on March 25. Catch the trailer and poster below!
