The first trailer has landed for Glen Powell’s new thriller<\/a> How to Make a Killing. Powell takes the lead in this dark comedy which centres on the heir to a massive fortune who just needs to do some ‘pruning of his family tree’ before he can become extraordinarily wealthy.<\/p>\n

Written and directed by John Patton Ford, the film is inspired by the 1949 Ealing Studios release Kind Hearts and Coronets, which starred Alec Guinness.<\/p>\n

Alongside Powell, How to Make a Killing also stars Margaret Qualley as well as Jessica Henwick, Zach Woods, Topher Grace, Bill Camp and Ed Harris.<\/p>\n

As the trailer shows, the film sees Powell as Becket Redfellow, a man whose mother was disowned by her wealthy family but she still promised her son a fortune.<\/p>\n

Now an adult living in New York, Becket finds himself with seven relatives (or “seven rich pricks”) standing between him and $28 billion.<\/p>\n

As we see one family member take a plunge into some deep waters, it becomes clear that Becket is willing to do anything to get his hands on the money.<\/p>\n

However, Becket soon learns there’s no such thing as easy money and it’s not long before he makes himself a target.<\/p>\n
