Teaser 'Day Drinker' (2027)

Marc Webb arrives at 'Day Drinker' with a clear shift in register from his previous work. The director of '(500) Days of Summer' and 'The Amazing Spider-Man' here delivers a supernatural action thriller with a dark tone and the atmosphere of a twisted fable, distributed by Lionsgate and produced by Thunder Road Films, Infinitum Nihil and Nostromo Pictures. The screenplay is by Zach Dean, known for 'The Tomorrow War'.

The trailer opens with a voiceover that sets the tone from the very first second: "I've made bad behaviour a way of life. I don't see any tangible reason to stop now." The question that follows, "Don't you sometimes want to misbehave?", defines Johnny Depp's character before the trailer raises whether what we're watching is a revenge story, a ghost tale, or simply the portrait of someone who drinks during the day and belongs nowhere. The trailer keeps the details of the central conflict in the shadows and opts for ambiguity: images of a private yacht, an atmosphere somewhere between the criminal and the supernatural, and a line that serves as a statement of intent: "Did you think I was finished? I finish when I say so."

The film centres on Lorna, a private yacht stewardess played by Madelyn Cline, whose encounter with a mysterious passenger draws her into the criminal underworld. That passenger is Mr. Kelly, Depp's character, who appears in the trailer with grey hair and a manner that is equal parts menacing and ghostly. Penélope Cruz brings to life the criminal figure who completes the triangle of the plot and connects the two leads in ways the trailer does not reveal. The cast is rounded out by Juan Diego Botto, Arón Piper, Manu Ríos, Javier Botet and Jean-Marc Barr. Cinematography is handled by Javier Aguirresarobe.

'Day Drinker' arrives in cinemas on 26th March 2027. The release date in Spain has not been officially confirmed, so the available reference is the international one.
