Get ready to meet Chauncey. He’s not imaginary… and he’s not your friend, either. That’s never more apparent than in the brand new trailer for Lionsgate horror movie Imaginary that debuted this morning, highlighting the eerie imagination that Chauncey offers.
DeWanda Wise (Jurassic World Dominion) stars in and produces Imaginary, which is scheduled for theatrical release on March 8, 2024. Watch the new trailer down below.
In Imaginary, “Jessica moves back into her childhood home with her family. Her youngest stepdaughter Alice develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey she finds in the basement. Alice starts playing games with Chauncey that begin playful and become increasingly sinister. As Alice’s behavior becomes more and more concerning, Jessica intervenes only to realize Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed him to be.”
Blumhouse’s Jason Blum produced, with Jeff Wadlow (Cry Wolf, Kick-Ass 2, Truth or Dare, Fantasy Island, The Curse of Bridge Hollow) producing and directing.
The film also stars Tom Payne, Taegen Burns, Pyper Braun, Veronica Falcon, and Betty Buckley. The screenplay is by Jeff Wadlow & Greg Erb & Jason Oremland.
Jeff Wadlow said in a statement accompanying the new trailer, “Not all imaginary friends are friendly… at least that’s what the characters at the heart of Imaginary are about to find out.”
“I love making films that play with the audience’s perception of what is real and what is not, so a horror movie that explores the frightening possibilities of imaginary friends was the perfect sandbox for me to play in,” his statement continues. “I think the movie we made is filled with unexpected twists, big scares, and above all else, a ton of thrilling fun. DeWanda, Pyper, and Taegen, the characters at the center of our story, are not only believable as a blended family but a blast to watch as the tale unfolds. I think audiences are going to love watching them go toe to toe with Chauncey, our evil little bear.
“I promise, you’ll never look at a Teddy the same way again.”
