Coming soon to Netflix is the genre-bending Sacrifice from director Romain Gavras (Athena), and the streamer has released a first look image while we wait for a premiere date.
Check out your first look at Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Evans in Sacrifice above.
The cast for the upcoming Netflix movie Sacrifice also includes Salma Hayek, Vincent Cassel, Ambika Mod, Sam Richardson, Charli XCX, Yung Lean, and John Malkovich.
Here’s the official synopsis: “A film star attempting a comeback is abducted with two others from an environmental gala by a radical group who believes their sacrifice will save humanity.”
There are a couple alternate plot rundowns for the film over on IMDb, one of which mentions supernatural powers and another that makes it clear Anya Taylor-Joy is playing a cult leader.
Here’s one alternate plot synopsis…
“At an elite fundraising gala, celebrities and socialites find themselves in danger when armed activists storm the venue in pursuit of a legendary relic that could unlock supernatural powers.”
And here’s a more detailed breakdown of the plot for Sacrifice…
“During a star-studded charity gala brimming with celebrities, billionaires and empty speeches, a movie star in the midst of an existential crisis (Chris Evans) is taken hostage by a radical warrior (Anya Taylor-Joy) and her devoted followers.
“As the night descends into chaos, both an inward journey and an outward adventure ensue, where the line between performance and belief, salvation and sacrifice, begins to blur.”
For what it’s worth, IMDb lists the film as an “action-adventure-comedy,” so it might be one you don’t see too much coverage for here on Bloody Disgusting. But we’ll keep our eyes peeled.
