What happened
A24 has released the teaser for Jeremy Saulnier's new film, Slayground, which centers on a horror attraction experience. The company launched the teaser online after premiering it exclusively with *Resident Evil* screenings over the weekend. The film follows a high-stakes chase story and stars Imogen Poots and Stephen Root, among others.
Why it matters
A24 acquired the rights to the film in a competitive bidding war that included Netflix. The project was initially described as a gritty, high-stakes chase story reminiscent of *The Fugitive*. The release follows the successful run of Saulnier's previous Netflix feature, *Rebel Ridge*.
