‘Death of a Unicorn’ promises a darkly comedic journey this Spring.

The highly anticipated dark comedy Death of a Unicorn has debuted its official trailer. It teases an eccentric and satirical tale. The story is written and directed by Alex Scharfman. Starring Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Will Poulter, Téa Leoni, and Richard E. Grant, the film will hit theaters in Spring 2025.
The story follows a father-daughter duo, played by Rudd and Ortega. They are thrown into an extraordinary situation after accidentally hitting and killing a unicorn during a late-night drive. Their destination is a luxurious weekend retreat hosted by the father’s billionaire employer, played by Richard E. Grant. Upon learning of the unicorn’s miraculous curative properties, the billionaire sees an opportunity to exploit the mythical creature for profit. Chaos, hilarity, and moral dilemmas ensue as the group grapples with greed and the ethical implications of their discovery.
Paul Rudd, known for his charm and comedic timing, teams up with Jenna Ortega, a rising star celebrated for her roles in Wednesday and Scream VI. Richard E. Grant brings a sharp edge to the eccentric tycoon’s role, while Téa Leoni and Will Poulter round out the ensemble cast.
