Joel Edgerton steps behind the camera for his feature directorial debut with the upcoming thriller The Gift and the first trailer has just premiered online.
The story centers on Simon (Jason Bateman) and Robyn (Rebecca Hall), a young married couple whose life is going just as planned until a chance encounter with an acquaintance from Simon’s high school sends their world into a harrowing tailspin. Simon doesn’t recognize Gordo (Edgerton) at first, but after a seemingly coincidental series of encounters proves troubling, a horrifying secret from their past is uncovered after nearly 20 years. As Robyn learns the unsettling truth about what happened between Simon and Gordo, she starts to question: how well do we really know the people closest to us, and are past bygones ever really bygones?
The film hits theaters on July 31, watch the trailer for The Gift directly below.
