Maniac Trailer: Jonah Hill and Emma Stone Team Up!
Paul Dailly at .Emma Stone and Jonah Hill are teaming up for a new Netflix thriller, and it looks stunning.
Netflix has dropped the first trailer for Maniac, and it shows the two first-class actors in their fight against their own minds.
Per the official logline:
Annie’s disaffected and aimless, fixated on broken relationships with her mother and her sister; Owen, the fifth son of wealthy New York industrialists, has struggled his whole life with a disputed diagnosis of schizophrenia.
Neither of their lives have turned out quite right, and the promise of a new, radical kind of pharmaceutical treatment—a sequence of pills its inventor, Dr. James K. Mantleray, claims can repair anything about the mind, be it mental illness or heartbreak—draws them and ten other strangers to the facilities of Neberdine Pharmaceutical and Biotech for a three-day drug trial that will, they’re assured, with no complications or side-effects whatsoever, solve all of their problems, permanently. … Things do not go as planned.
The first trailer certainly shows the two characters ending up together despite their minds being engineered to stay put.
But what could be causing the connection between them?
We'll find out September 21 when all episodes debut on Netflix!
