20th Century Studios has unveiled the first trailer for \u2018Send Help,\u2019 the upcoming darkly comedic psychological thriller from genre-bending visionary Sam Raimi (Spider-Man, The Evil Dead).<\/p>\n

At the centre of the story are Linda Liddle (Oscar\u00ae and Tony Award\u00ae nominee Rachel McAdams, Spotlight, Are You There God? It\u2019s Me, Margaret.) and Bradley Preston (Dylan O\u2019Brien, Twinless, Saturday Night), two colleagues who become the sole survivors of a plane crash. Stranded on a remote, uninhabited island, they\u2019re forced to rely on each other to stay alive \u2014 but their uneasy alliance quickly devolves into a battle of egos, secrets, and sanity.<\/p>\n

As the trailer unfolds, flashes of pitch-black humour cut through the island\u2019s isolation: Linda and Bradley come to the haunting realisation that help might never come. What begins as a fight for survival soon spirals into a darkly funny psychological showdown.<\/p>\n

The film also stars Edyll Ismail (La Brea), Dennis Haysbert (Far from Heaven), Xavier Samuel (Elvis), Chris Pang (Crazy Rich Asians), Thaneth Warakulnukroh (Thai Cave Rescue), and Emma Raimi (Happy Pills).<\/p>\n

Also in trailers \u2013\u00a0Jeremy Allen White channels Bruce Springsteen in powerful final trailer for \u2018Spingsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018Send Help\u2019 arrives exclusively in cinemas on February 6, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"20th Century Studios has unveiled the first trailer for \u2018Send Help,\u2019 the upcoming darkly comedic psychological thriller from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79900,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[61461,156,409,111,139,69,61462,59713,59714],"class_list":{"0":"post-79899","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-dylan-obrien","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz","14":"tag-rachel-mcadams","15":"tag-sam-raimi","16":"tag-send-help"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79899\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
