Watch the trailer for actress–director Mélanie Laurent’s new thriller Galveston that presents a (bloody) escape of a unique kind for two unlikely lovers against the backdrop of her latest film’s titular locale.

The film is based on True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto’s novel of the same name, Galveston follows an alcoholic hit man named Roy (Ben Foster) who falls prey of a double-crossing scheme. He is able to outsmart his foes, and Roy beats his would-be assassins and releases a fellow target, Rocky (Elle Fanning). He manages to escape with her in tow. The duo eventually seeks refuge in the seaside city, though Rocky unexpectedly embroils a child in their runaway plot while Roy’s former boss is able to track them down.

Following its world premiere at South by Southwest in March, Galveston garnered decent critical reviews — with particular praise going toward the outstanding performances of Fanning and Foster.

The film is originally slated to screen at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, where Laurent’s film Breathe screened four years ago. Unfortunately, the project was ultimately pulled from the lineup due to scheduling conflicts with the cast and crew. Rosamund Pike’s Marie Colvin biopic A Private War instead got a space into the film’s vacant gala slot at the prestigious Canadian event.

Galveston — also starring Adepero Oduye, Lili Reinhart, and Beau Bridges — will hit limited theatrical release, VOD, and digital HD beginning October 19.
