Quote(CNN) — The producers of critically-acclaimed films "Get Out" and "Us" have just fed thriller-lovers a small bone. On Thursday, the trailer dropped for "Antebellum," starring singer and actor Janelle Monáe.
Set to hit theaters on April 24, 2020, the movie is directed by the creative duo of Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz.
In the film, author Veronica Henley (Janelle Monáe) "finds herself trapped in a horrifying reality and must uncover the mind-bending mystery before it's too late," says the movie description.
The trailer is equally confusing and exciting, presenting a smattering of scenes set in what seems to be both the antebellum South and the 21st century.
Previously uncommon settings for a thriller such as a cotton field and plantation pathway are paired with familiar horror imagery of a little girl in a white dress in a long hotel hallway.
The film also stars "American Horror Story"'s Gabourey Sidibe and "Dear White People"'s Marque Richardson, alongside Eric Lange, Jack Huston, Kiersey Clemons, Tongayi Chirisa, and others.

I have no idea. I'm so lost. :plzstop:
L
oooh it looks like we are in modern times but there is an experiment happen where they take black people and make them slaves
this is edgy
slavery! plantation!
:rudone:
I'm intrigued though
Hdhdjfjjfjfjfnfjgjfjf I'm intrigued
i rolled my eyes HARD when i thought it was a slave movie, but it isn't
Looks weird.
Reminds me of the book Kindred a bit. A black woman kept time traveling back every time her white slave-owning ancestor's life was in danger. She hated to save him, but knew she would never eventually exist if she let him die. :fuming:
bitch i JUST saw this trailer. i git goosebumps acccccck
This movie was good...I saw it a couple of months ago. I don't think ANYONE will figure out the twist before they reveal it.
It's impossible to tell you what the movie is about without telling you what happens... I'll just say antebellum is a plantation in Louisiana in this movie

Lol none of what you said happened... There's no sci-fi mess... But as I said I can't tell you about the movie without actually saying what happens bc the entire movie leads up to a reveal at the end
u can give a premise without any spoilers :uhh:
ACK!
This looks kinda good
I hope it slays US
I still don't really use
This looks like a slay.. a twisted roller coaster ride of a film..and I am living
:ohwow:

I'll try but I don't think it will make sense without any spoilers.
The premise is Janelle Monae and the other black people are slaves on a plantation but it is present day (2019).
The movie isn't a slave movie tho and Gabby Sidibe is hilarious in her scenes.
Don't read the spoiler if knowing what happens in a movie ruins it for you...I tell everything that happens in the movie
