Zendaya<\/a> is madly in love, possibly for the first time, in the trailer for her upcoming dark rom-com The Drama. But in keeping with the outr\u00e9 vibe of envelope-pushing independent film studio A24 (Midsommar, I Saw the TV Glow), her meet-cute with beloved Robert Pattinson<\/a>\u2018s Charlie Pattinson starts to go south as the two plan their wedding with a dark cloud hanging over the proceedings.<\/p>\n

The two-minute trailer for Norwegian writer-director Kristoffer Borgli\u2019s (Dream Scenario) latest opens with the happy practicing their first dance just days before their wedding and nervous groom Charlie sweating over his speech. We see glimpses of the first blush of their love story as Charlie struggles to put into words Louisiana bookstore clerk Emma\u2019s (Zendaya) signature honking laugh, which he finds cute, but which co-star Mamoudou Athie (Archive 81), describes as \u201crepulsive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Co-star Alana Haim playfully grills Emma about Charlie being her first love and\/or crush at age 30, but things turn not so funny when the two couples share a radical honesty game of \u201cwhat\u2019s the worst thing you\u2019ve eve done?\u201d at dinner and Emma reveals something that shocks them to their cores.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t hear what she reveals, but after Emma shares her secret the table turns silent as Haim says in shock, \u201care you serious?\u201d and British museum director Charlie eeks out a grim, nervous laugh. Despite her meek apology, Haim angrily shouts, \u201cEmma, what the f\u2013k?\u201d<\/p>\n

The rest of the trailer finds Charlie obsessing about Emma\u2019s secret as the couple\u2019s joy turns to awkward silence, tears, car crashes and Emma pulling a kitchen knife on her beloved. You know, typical pre-wedding jitters.<\/p>\n

The movie is the first of three times film goers will see Zendaya and Pattinson on the big screen this year, with the duo showing up again on July 17 in Christopher Nolan\u2019s sprawling The Odyssey and again on Dec. 18 in the anticipated third part of the Dune epic. Zendaya will also be back on the small screen in April for the third season of HBO Max\u2019s Euphoria<\/a>.<\/p>\n
