Roadside Attractions and Vertical have unveiled the trailer for The Gallerist, the breakout crime comedy from director Cathy Yan (Birds of Prey, Dead Pigs).  

The film from MRC stars Academy Award®-winner Natalie Portman (Black Swan, May December), Jenna  Ortega (Wednesday, Scream), Academy Award®- winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers, Only Murders in the Building), Emmy Award®-winner Sterling K. Brown (This Is Us, American Fiction), Emmy Award®-winner  Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover trilogy, Between Two Ferns), Daniel Brühl (Rush, All Quiet on the Western Front), Global Pop Icon and Grammy winner Charli XCX (Crash, Brat), and Academy Award®-winner Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago, Wednesday).

Set against the glittering excess of Art Basel Miami, The Gallerist follows an ambitious gallery owner (Portman) clinging to the edge of elite society and desperate to prove herself on the heels of a nasty separation, facing mounting financial hardship. What begins as an impromptu act of survival—when she conspires to pass off an accidental corpse as the centerpiece of her debut show—spirals into a sly game of deception, spectacle, and ticking-clock chaos as influencers and police converge. Will she end up famous, a felon, or both?

Written by  James Pedersen (High Heat), the film is produced by Ash Sarohia (Killing Gunther), Sophie Mas and Natalie Portman (May December, Arco), Jonathan King (Spotlight, Roma, Dreamgirls), Tom McCarthy (Stillwater, The Loudest Voice), Rae Baron (Stillwater, Alaska Daily) and Zola Elgart Glassman (High Heat).

MRC is the studio behind the film.

In theaters December 4.
