Trailer Girl Millie Bobby Brown and Angela Bassett Lead Netflix Fantasy – The Hollywood Reporter
Millie Bobby Brown fights for her life against a dragon and the plans of a cunning kingdom in the first teaser for the upcoming Netflix film, the girl.
Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and written by Dan Mazo, the film follows the dutiful girl Brown after she is chosen and agrees to marry a handsome prince. But her magical future turns into a nightmare present after she learns that the royal family is using her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt – leaving her to defend herself against a treacherous threat.

Set to Timber Timbre’s song ‘Run From Me’, the new teaser promises a harrowing experience, which will see ‘Princess’ Brown fighting for her life with mostly the clothes on her back. She is seen navigating a series of deadly trials, dashing through the forest to avoid a hideous lurking creature, climbing a cave of sharp crystal spikes within a mountain high above, and narrowly escaping dragonfire and burning embers as it rains down on her.
Alongside this, there are clips of the kingdom and its leaders – Wright and Nick Robinson – as well as the kingdom’s subjects, including Angela Bassett. The trailer also teases a group dressed in dark robes and golden masks, along with a cave wall engraved with the names of countless women.
The film stars Ray Winstone, Brooke Carter, and Shohra Aghdashloo. Mazzeo also produces with Joe Roth and Chris Castaldi, with Emily Wolfe as co-producer. Brown serves as an EP, as do Robert Brown and Zack Roth.
