Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega look down at something in Death of a Unicorn.

In the trailer for A24’s Death of a Unicorn, Jenna Ortega gets straight to the point when she comes across a mythical animal. “It’s a f**king unicorn.”

While embarking on a weekend trip to the house of his billionaire boss house, a man (Paul Rudd) and his daughter (Ortega) crash into a unicorn with their car. Instead of abandoning the creature, the duo picks up the unicorn and takes it to their destination. When people find out about the unicorn, it’s immediately studied by scientists, who learn about its miraculous benefits. The jubilation quickly disappears when a second, more violent unicorn shows up and begins attacking humans.

“We need to give the little one back,” says Ortega’s character as she pleads with her father to free the injured unicorn.

A24 released the tense first trailer for Warfare, an upcoming war film written and directed by Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland.
Set in 2006, Warfare follows a group of American Navy SEALs inside the home of an Iraqi family.
