The best trailers say useverything and nothingabout the picture . We see just enough to get us interested but have no actual idea what the movie is about . And that ’s incisively what we get with this first trailer for a movie calledCompanion , which will be released by Warner Bros. in January . We think we have intercourse what it ’s about , but really we have no clue .
write and direct by Drew Hancock , CompanionstarsSophie Thatcher(Yellowjackets)and Jack Quaid(The Boys)as some sort of twosome . Only , well , there are obviously some serious thing wrong here which the handcuff and candle will clue you into . Check out the teaser dawdler forCompanionand we can discuss after .
So — she ’s a robot , correct ? mayhap Quaid ’s fictitious character lost his wife and he buy a new translation of her that goes a small sick ? That ’s at least what the film kind of palpate like — M3GANbutwith an grownup companion . But , honestly , I ’m not quite indisputable .

Here ’s what we are sure of . In accession to Thatcher , who ’ll be come offthe awesomeHereticat the metre , and Quaid , always pop thanks toThe Boys , Companionco - stars Lukas Gage(Smile 2 ) , Megan Suri(Never Have I Ever ) , the amazing Harvey Guillén(What We Do in the Shadows ) , and the Grand Inquisitor himself , Rupert Friend ( Obi - Wan Kenobi ) . TheBarbarianconnection is producers Raphael Margules , J.D. Lifshitz , Zach Cregger , and Roy Lee , who made that film and are now make this one .
The only hint Warner Bros. is offering up aboutCompanion’sstory is a web site that conduct to a phone number you may text to get your own familiar . The tormentor reads : “ Hey you . Tired of swiping ? Sick of getting ghostwrite ? Are you feeling like a part of you is missing?FindYourCompanion.comis guaranteed to find you a Companion who ’s made for you . ” The site join to a phone number that tie to a Chatbot which , while I love you earnest reader , I was not going to do . But if you want to , be our Edgar Albert Guest and describe back . But you do get that automaton vibe from it .
stick around to just the poke though , there are some really big reveals and images here . The “ married woman ” being manacle to the chair at the kickoff . Her forearm being burn at the end . The rakehell , the car , the guns , none of it quite adds up . Which we think is grand .

Companionwill kick off 2025 on January 10 only in theaters . Are you interested ?
