Death of a Unicorn Trailer

“We need to give the little one back! Or bad things will happen!” A24 has revealed the hilarious first trailer for a bonkers new indie comedy called Death of a Unicorn, set for release sometime in Spring 2025 (final date not announced yet). This looks even crazier & weirder than anyone is expecting. Father & daughter duo Riley & Elliot hit a unicorn with their car and bring it to the wilderness retreat of a mega-wealthy pharma CEO. They decide to study and harvest it, of course, only to end up in an even worse situation. It seems this white unicorn was just a baby and the, uh, parents come back to collect it and they definitely are not happy. “As they delve deeper into their research, they discover the deadly consequences of their actions.” Indeed. Death of a Unicorn stars Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Will Poulter, Téa Leoni, and Richard E. Grant as the evil CEO. Helluva cast! It was expected to premiere at Sundance 2025 but seems like they rejected it? Perhaps it’ll premiere at SXSW instead? Certainly looks totally wild and hopefully it’s not too dumb! Not all the jokes land – but points for originality anyway. A must watch just to see what the hell they’ve cooked up.

Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for Alex Scharfman’s film Death of a Unicorn, from YouTube:

Death of a Unicorn Poster

A man and his teenage daughter accidentally crash into a unicorn while they are en route to a crisis management summit with his boss Dell Leopold and Leopold’s family. The Leopolds seize the unicorn, and their scientists discover that its flesh, blood, and, most of all, its horn are endowed with supernaturally curative properties, which the Leopolds seek to exploit. However, as they delve deeper into their research, they discover the deadly consequences of their actions. Death of a Unicorn is a comedy written and directed by American producer / filmmaker Alex Scharfman, making his feature directorial debut after producing indie films including Lyle, Women Who Kill, Blow the Man Down, and Resurrection. Produced by Lucas Joaquin, Tyler Campellone, Drew Houpt, Lars Knudsen, Alex Scharfman, Tim Headington, Theresa Steele Page. This hasn’t premiered at any festivals yet or elsewhere, as far as we know. A24 will release Death of a Unicorn in select US theaters starting Spring 2025 – stay tuned for the exact release date. Look any good?
