‘Death of a Unicorn’ Trailer Reveals Wild Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd Comedy

As a movie critic with a lifelong passion for all things cinematic, I must say that A24 is truly outdoing themselves yet again. The trailer for “Death of a Unicorn” has left me utterly intrigued and slightly terrified – a perfect recipe for an unforgettable film experience!

In the upcoming movie “Death of a Unicorn,” produced by A24, viewers are invited to explore the mysterious world of unicorns, which are said to be both mythical and terrifyingly powerful. The film stars Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd and brings these legendary creatures to life on screen for the first time. In the trailer, we see father and daughter, played by Rudd and Ortega, accidentally hitting a unicorn with their car while driving through the woods. After picking up the injured creature, they come across other actors including Will Poulter, Anthony Carrigan, and Téa Leoni. However, what follows is a series of violent events as the unicorn’s supernatural powers take effect.

In a somewhat different phrasing:

2024 Was a Big Year for A24

A24 is renowned for crafting unconventional narratives that challenge viewers’ perceptions. This year, they’ve unleashed several successful horror and sci-fi films such as “Heretic” and “I Saw the TV Glow,” and are also responsible for the erotic thriller “Babygirl” starring Nicole Kidman. Although a significant portion of A24’s popular productions belong to the horror genre, they also delve into prestige films that tackle deeper, more humanistic themes. With Daniel Craig’s “Queer” and “The Brutalist,” featuring Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones, generating buzz for awards, A24 solidifies its position as a leading force in contemporary film production.

2025 is shaping up to be a fantastic year for A24, with intriguing projects like “The Legend of Ochi” and “The Smashing Machine” set to premiere. The unicorn horror comedy marks Scharfman’s first feature-length directorial endeavor, where he also takes on the producer role. Previously, Scharfman was part of Robert Eggers’ crew for the 2015 film “The Witch,” and has produced films such as “Blow the Man Down” and “Resurrection.” Ari Aster, the acclaimed director behind A24 productions like “Hereditary,” “Midsommar,” and “Beau Is Afraid,” will serve as an executive producer alongside stars Rudd and Ortega. Excited to explore what’s in store?
