In Edgar Wright’s The Running Man<\/a>, Glen Powell played a blue-collar guy desperately trying to live to make a killing off a bunch of dispassionate rich wrong’uns. In How To Make A Killing (formerly Huntington), Emily The Criminal<\/a> writer-director John Patton Ford’s upcoming blackly comic A24 thriller, Glen Powell is about to play a blue-collar guy desperately trying to kill to make a living off a bunch of dispassionate rich wrong’uns. And this time out, as the newly released trailer for Ford’s Kind Hearts And Coronets<\/a> inspired movie reveals, Powell is looking to cut his family tree down to size in order to secure his inheritance. Check it out below;<\/p>\n

“There were seven of them, seven rich pricks between myself and $28 billion,” says Powell’s downtrodden would-be social climber Becket Redfellow early in this first trailer for Ford’s eagerly anticipated sophomore feature. Straight after, he ominously starts to say “if I were to prune a few branches from the family tree…” as we witness one such Redfellow being given the old heave-ho from a luxurious yacht. Suffice it to say, it looks like our man Becket has no qualms about putting some red in his ledger to claim what he believes to be rightfully is, cosying up to socialite Margaret Qualley as his increasingly high-risk pruning operation attracts a manhunt.<\/p>\n

The official synopsis for How To Make A Killing \u2014 whose rock-solid ensemble includes Ed Harris, Jessica Henwick, Topher Grace, Bill Camp, and Zach Woods \u2014 reads as follows: “Disowned at birth by his obscenely wealthy family, blue-collar Becket Redfellow (Glen Powell) will stop at nothing to reclaim his inheritance, no matter how many relatives stand in his way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Capitalising on the current trend of increasingly direct ‘eat the rich’ movies while continuing Ford’s interest in exploring the morality of ill-gotten gains in an ever-intensifyingly dog-eat-dog world, How To Make A Killing \u2014 with its star-studded cast, darkly comic tone, and hooky set-up \u2014 has both our curiosity and our attention. We’ll find out whether it slays with cinemagoers when it hits cinemas Stateside next February, and ones here hopefully soon after.
