A trailer for Kill Your Friends, based on the novel by John Niven, has made its way online; and we have it for you right here.
The film follows a music producer played by Nicholas Hoult who decides that the best way to advance his career up the ladder is to eliminate the competition. Literally.
After his recent acclaimed turn in Mad Max: Fury Road, it only seems fitting for Hoult to play another insane killer. Also starring James Cordon and Craig Roberts, Kill Your Friends will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival this month.
Synopsis:
As the twentieth century breathes its very last, with Britpop at its zenith, twenty-seven-year-old A&R man Steven Stelfox is slashing and burning his way through London’s music industry. Blithely crisscrossing the globe in search of the next megahit—fueled by greed and inhuman quantities of cocaine—Stelfox freely indulges in an unending orgy of self-gratification. But the industry is changing fast and the hits are drying up, and the only way he’s going to salvage his sagging career is by taking the idea of “cutthroat” to murderous new levels.
