Love Ain’t What It Used to Be in Companion Teaser Trailer
It’s nothing like The Notebook, in fact

On the surface, the marketing for New Line’s Companion suggests that the film is romance in the vein of The Notebook. If you watch beyond the first few seconds of the teaser trailer released today, however, it’s very clear that the relationship between the characters played by Jack Quaid (The Boys, Star Trek: Lower Decks) and Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets, The Boogeyman) is far from consensual.
Thatcher’s character, in fact, is handcuffed and held at gunpoint by Quaid’s. She’s also apparently drugged in certain scenes, so much so that she can’t move away from an open flame that is slowly cooking her hand to a crisp. And if that wasn’t enough, we see her trapped inside a car at least once, and more than one person getting violently murdered. That’s a lot for a seventy-nine-second trailer.
Romance!
The disturbing twist is less surprising when you find out that the movie is backed by the filmmakers behind Barbarian—Raphael Margules, J.D. Lifshitz, Zach Cregger, and Roy Lee.
In addition to Quaid and Thatcher, Companion stars Lukas Gage (Smile 2, Dead Boy Detectives), Megan Suri (Never Have I Ever, It Lives Inside), Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows, Blue Beetle), and Rupert Friend (High Desert, Asteroid City). It’s written and directed by Drew Hancock (My Dead Ex, Suburgatory).
Companion premieres in theaters on January 10, 2025.
