UPDATED with new trailer, 7:53 AM: Sony’s 3000 Pictures today unveiled a new trailer for Where the Crawdads Sing, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People), which is slated for release in theaters on July 15. Check it out above and some photos below.
The film directed by Olivia Newman is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Delia Owens. It tells the story of Kya (Edgar-Jones), an abandoned girl who raised herself to adulthood in the dangerous marshlands of North Carolina. For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” haunted Barkley Cove, isolating the sharp and resilient Kya from her community. Drawn to two young men from town, Kya opens herself to a new and startling world; but when one of them is found dead, she is immediately cast by the community as the main suspect. As the case unfolds, the verdict as to what actually happened becomes increasingly unclear, threatening to reveal the many secrets that lay within the marsh.
Where the Crawdads Sing also stars Taylor John Smith (Sharp Objects), Harris Dickinson (The King’s Man), Michael Hyatt (Snowfall), Sterling Macer, Jr. (Double Down), David Strathairn (Nomadland) and Jayson Warner Smith (The Walking Dead). Lucy Alibar (Beasts of the Southern Wild) adapted the screenplay, with Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter producing, and Betsy Danbury and Rhonda Fehr serving as executive producers.
The trailer features new music by Grammy-winning chart topper Taylor Swift.
