Today, we have the first trailer for writer-director Michael Winterbottom‘s kidnap thriller The Wedding Guest starring Dev Patel, Radhike Apte, and Jim Sarbh.
” This propulsive, globetrotting thriller from acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom is a breathless tour through the shadowy underworlds and hidden realms of Pakistan and India. Jay (Slumdog Millionaire’s Dev Patel) is a man with a secret who travels from Britain to Pakistan to attend a wedding—armed with duct tape, a shotgun, and a plan to kidnap the bride-to-be (Radhika Apte). Despite his cool efficiency, the plot quickly spirals out of control, sending Jay and his hostage on the run across the border and through the railway stations, back alleys, and black markets of New Delhi—as all the while attractions simmer, loyalties shift, and explosive secrets are revealed. Pulsating with the sights and sounds of the Indian subcontinent, The Wedding Guest conjures a colorful world where danger lurks at every turn and nothing is as it seems.”
Produced by Melissa Parmenter, Michael Winterbottom, Deepak Nayar, Nik Bower, and Dev Patel, The Wedding Guest opens in theaters in New York and Los Angeles on March 1, 2019, followed by its theatrical release in 60 cities across the U.S. on March 8th, from IFC Films.
