Kristen Stewart, heroine of Love Lies Bleeding for A24 (trailer)

Hideo Kojima did not fail to react favorably to this project, by proposing an idea for a spin-off!

In this seventies project, Lou (Katy O’Brian) and Jackie (Kristen Stewart) will have to free themselves from the toxic influence of the events occurring in Las Vegas. Lou, an ambitious bodybuilder, joins the traffic organized by Jackie’s father, played by a Ed Harris into an unrecognizable crack head.

It was on social networks that the production company A24 made the public languish with a poster that was attractive to say the least, then the trailer above, with perfectly well-paced editing.

The design respects the codes of the 70s: the neon font, this oiled and drawn bicep, echoing (indirectly) a period dotted with success for a great figure in body building and action cinema, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The road trip promises to mix physical ability and firearms.
