A24 on Tuesday morning unveiled the first trailer for A Different Man, its darkly comedic psychological thriller starring Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice), which is slated to hit theaters on September 20.
Also starring The Worst Person in the World‘s Renate Reinsve and Adam Pearson, the film from writer-director Aaron Schimberg centers on Edward (Stan), an aspiring actor who undergoes a radical medical procedure to drastically transform his appearance. Edward’s new dream face quickly turns into a nightmare, as he loses out on the role he was born to play and becomes obsessed with reclaiming what was lost.
