Trailer for 'Shell', the comedy from Max Minghella starring Kate Hudson and Elisabeth Moss about beauty standards in Hollywood.
The trailer for 'Shell', the new comedy directed by Max Minghella, presents a story that combines satire of the entertainment world with science-fiction thriller. The film explores the pressure that beauty and youth standards place on women in the entertainment industry, with a tone that oscillates between social commentary and dark humour.
The trailer opens with an actress confessing her need to be seen and recognised, before showing how the industry pushes her aside for failing to meet the new standards of youth. From there, the trailer introduces Zoe Shannon, chief executive of a wellness brand that promises its clients freedom from insecurity and the ability to remain young forever through a mysterious treatment.
The process involves a body scan and a transformation whose consequences the trailer deliberately leaves unresolved, though the final images suggest that something goes terribly wrong.
The cast brings together Kate Hudson and Elisabeth Moss in central roles, alongside Kaia Gerber and Elizabeth Berkley. The production also features Marty Bowen amongst its team. Max Minghella, known as an actor for his work in 'The Handmaid's Tale', marks this project as a directorial endeavour.
