Dave Franco and Alison Brie Get Closer Than Ever in Chilling Trailer for 'Together'
Dave Franco and Alison Brie are taking relationships to extreme lengths in their shocking new horror film.
On Monday, May 5, Neon debuted the trailer for Together, the latest movie the real-life couple have collaborated on together.
The trailer, set to the tune of The Turtles' 1967 hit "Happy Together," finds Brie's character as she appears to meet with a therapist to express that she and Franco's character "haven't been on the same page" since a move to the countryside.
While the couple are shown sharing a passionate kiss, their lips briefly get stuck together as if bound by glue. More strange and disturbing experiences suggest a supernatural force in or around their new home is binding the couple together.
"Years into their relationship, Tim and Millie find themselves at a crossroads as they move to the country, abandoning all that is familiar in their lives except each other," reads a synopsis. "With tensions already flaring, a nightmarish encounter with a mysterious, unnatural force threatens to corrupt their lives, their love and their flesh."

A previous teaser trailer for Together that Neon released in March showed Franco and Brie's characters living life in the solitary confinement of their new rural area, along with some increasingly disturbing imagery set to piano music. That teaser ended with the actors' characters telling each other, "I love you," as well as a shot of their eyeballs up close.
Together made its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January; the movie played at the SXSW Film & TV Festival in March, where Franco, 39, told PEOPLE he and Brie, 42, "just gain more and more respect for each other" as partners in work and in life. (The couple first met in 2011 and married in 2017.)
'I am always so in awe of you when we're on set together,' Brie told her husband in that interview. 'It's very attractive!'

Together is in theaters July 30.

After Losing Their House, This Couple Hiked 630 Miles to Their New Home
The Salt Path, a new film from first-time feature director Marianne Elliot, stars Gillian Anderson (The X-Files) and Jason Isaacs (The White Lotus) as Raynor and Moth Winn, a British couple who, after losing their home in 2013, set off on a 630-mile hike on Cornwall's South West Coast Path. The screenplay, by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, is based upon Raynor's 2018 memoir of the same name, which was universally praised and won several awards, including the Royal Society of Literature's inaugural Christopher Bland Prize and the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing. Critics have equally lauded the film adaptation (it currently sits at 86 percent on Rotten Tomatoes), but does The Salt Path properly capture the specificity of its source material? Related: Review: Is 'Karate Kid: Legends' a Hit or a Miss? Elliot's film picks up shortly after Raynor and Moth have set off on their journey, filling in the particulars of their circumstances with brief flashbacks. After losing to an unwise investment nearly all of their money and their farmstead, the home in which their children grew up and also the source of the family's income, Raynor and Moth decide to walk the entirety of the South West Coast Path. This is particularly ill-advised as Moth has recently been diagnosed with the degenerative brain disease corticobasal degeneration (CBD), which normally carries a life expectancy of five to eight years. As they walk, Moth's symptoms begin to dissipate, and he and Raynor discover a side of each other that's lain dormant for decades. Much like the book on which it's based, The Salt Path is a powerful story well told in an unobtrusive, straightforward manner. Those who are unfamiliar with the true events and perhaps expecting a more linear narrative might be wrong-footed by the episodic structure, but the movie is more concerned with capturing the feeling of the characters and their predicament than detailing the specifics of it. (The inciting incident which costs them their home remains mostly unexplained.) It's about the way Raynor and Moth relate to one another, or sometimes fail to relate to one another. This is an ordinary but no less impactful real-life love story about a couple who ventured together through the very worst that life had to offer and came out stronger on the other side. More than the restorative powers of nature, The Salt Path is about the restorative powers of love. Related: Review: 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' Brings the Franchise Back From the Dead Elliot and her team capture the essence of Raynor and Moth's journey, at times so vividly it feels as though the book has sprung from the page. It's a shame that this lacks many of the louder qualities which often qualify a movie for awards contention, because The Salt Path really should be at the frontrunner of every race. Isaacs and Anderson, both tremendously accomplished actors, are as good as they've ever been. Both disappear into their roles with a breathtaking naturalism that's so subtle, so un-actorly, that you actually forget you're not watching the real people. Anderson, best known as Agent Scully on The X-Files, has over time quietly become one of the most reliable actors on screen. Her work here is genuinely astounding. Related: 'Harry Potter' Actor Weighs in on Full-Frontal Scene in 'The White Lotus' This is the sort of movie which, the more you consider and unpack it, the more it reveals hidden treasures. Things which at first seem a bit off—for example, an ending which initially feels abrupt—on reflection seem like the only logical choices in telling this story. The Cornish landscapes are sharply photographed and will have you digging in the closet to find your hiking boots (this would make an interesting double bill with Mark Jenkin's Bait), but Elliot nicely foregrounds her characters rather than the sights that surround them. The Salt Path is a lovely, uncommonly low-key drama which serves as a perfect extension to the Winn's memoir. It's hard to imagine a version which is more perfectly told, so graceful is the work of everyone involved. Hopefully, their efforts will be remembered come awards season.

‘Bring Her Back' Proves the ‘Talk to Me' Guys Aren't One-Hit Wonders
What happens when you go from being gonzo suburban kids to D.I.Y. YouTube sensations to the duo responsible for a hip film company's hugest genre hit? Having already made a name for themselves online under the collective handle RackaRacka, the Australian filmmakers/twin brothers Michael and Danny Philippou didn't exactly come out from of nowhere when they dropped 2023's Talk to Me on an unsuspecting public. But their story of teens who find a cursed, mummified hand and use the supernatural item to contact the dead as a party trick, ended up becoming A24's No. 1 grossing horror movie to date. Suddenly these siblings from Adelaide officially became the Next Big Thing. Talk of sequels, spin-offs and an expanded Talk to Me franchise universe was rampant. Hollywood beckoned. You wondered what the brothers would do next. And you hoped they wouldn't break up or flame out in the process of trying to follow up that kind of runaway success. The good news: The Philippous somehow survived the experience of becoming the flavors of the month. The even-better news: They've delivered a sophomore feature that both proves they're not one-hit wonders and that they're capable of mixing things up. You wouldn't exactly call Bring Her Back a move toward 'maturity' for the 32-year-old filmmakers — there's still a giddy energy behind some of the more outré moments in this tale of two teenagers who find themselves in the middle of some seriously shady shit. A sequence involving a boy, a butcher knife, and teeth suggests these gents still love to push the meter into the red. But there's less of a livewire, look-at-us sense of attention-seeking that's characteristic of new filmmakers desperate to make a mark, and more control, patience, and craftsmanship on display in this unsettling, semi-Gothic tale of grief solutions gone wrong. It's still ready, willing and able to go to extremes. The restraint they show in between the adrenaline spikes and jolting dopamine hits, however, makes this a far scarier affair. More from Rolling Stone 'Karate Kid: Legends' Is a Kick for Hardcore Fans Only Wes Anderson's 'The Phoenician Scheme' Is One of His Best Mia Threapleton Idolized Wes Anderson. Then She Became the Breakout Star of His New Movie You may think that the somewhat stock, creepazoid cold opening, in which viewers seem to have stumbled upon a mysterious ritual involving circles, murders, camcorders, and naked fat guys stumbling around is a red herring. It's simply a planting a seed; just put a pin in it for later. The two folks you'll need to concern yourself with immediately are Piper (Sora Wong) and Andy (Billy Barratt). She's a sight-impaired high schooler desperate to fit in with the cool kids. He's her protective, super-supportive older stepbrother, and they have the type of relationship where a code word — 'Grapefruit' — signals that one has to answer the other with complete honesty. The two are close. Which is good, because their father has just unexpectedly passed away. And while Andy is still too young to be her legal guardian, the woman assigned to their case throws them a break. There's a household, run by an ex-foster counselor, that's willing to take both of them in until Andy comes of age. Their new parental figure is named Laura. As played by the great Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky, Paddington, The Shape of Water) she's gregarious, a little daffy, and friendly in an obviously overcompensating, try-hard kind of way. And there's something off about her from the jump. Laura's daughter, who was also sight-impaired, drowned a while back; there's a sense of surrogacy that borders uncomfortably on outright substitution regarding the way she treats Piper. Her likes include children, mysterious chalk circles around her driveway, and her dog — the pup is dead, but not to worry, she's had him stuffed. Dislikes include boundaries, swimming pools (for obvious reasons), and Andy. The cheeriness she shows him is a front. She's much more interested in his sister. Oh, and there's another kid residing in the home with them: Oliver (Jonah Wren Phillips). He's 10 years old or so, and something feels very off about him, too. It's not just that the boy doesn't speak; he's been mute since the accident, Laura tells them. Or that he seems particularly aggressive around their pet cat. It's more of the way that Oliver sort of constantly hovers around the periphery, staring blankly at everything. He's always there, yet somehow not really 'there' at all. The fact that he needs to be locked away in his room when no one's around doesn't counteract your sense of unease. Nor does his tendency to bang his head bloody against his window or the door to the wooden shed in the backyard, which he's seems rather fixated on. Or the fact that he only really perks up when Laura, while giving him a bath, acknowledges that 'I know you're hungry… you'll just have to wait a little longer… .' If you haven't guessed by now, there's a secondary agenda going on with Laura and some of the more cryptic occurrences happening on the premises. And while the logic behind some of the supernatural aspects of Bring Her Back is on par with the just-go-with-it leaps of faith employed in Talk to Me, it's less about the how regarding the plot's numerous hairpin turns, and way, way more about the when and why of it all. Trust us when we tell you that the movie has this title for a reason. What is obvious is that the Philippou brothers know they've got a decent premise and and a strong cast on their hands. Both Wong and Barratt understand the assignments here. When you are blessed with a performer of Hawkins' talent and abilities, you let her lean full-tilt into the unhinged elements of the character, the emphasis on mourning as a perpetually wounded state of mind, and the story's curdled take on motherhood. We tend to view the whole creepy-youngster trope as overused and lazy in most cases, yet there's something about Phillips' way of playing this zombie of a kid that rises above the cliché. You're compelled to watch him even when he's in the background and allegedly checked out. And when the third act kicks into gear for him… yeah. Things get gnarly. Bring Her Back is still a messy endeavor, even with what feels like a newfound discipline, not to mention a superior grasp of pacing and catch-release tension, happening behind the camera. That's a feature or a bug, depending on how you like your horror served. But if their debut used grief as more of a superficial way to spice up the thrills and chills, this follow-up treats the concept as something bone-deep and gutting. When that enigmatic opening suddenly comes back around, you understand exactly why the means it represents might justify the aims behind it. You also breathe a sigh of relief that these guys aren't simply out to shock for shock's sake. The filmmakers want to jolt folks, for sure. But they also want to bring you to a place where the emotional after effects of that juddering linger long after the jump scares have faded away.
