Ana de Armas Is at the Center of a Murder Mystery in 'The Night Clerk' Trailer (Exclusive)

Ana de Armas best keep her knives out, because she's at the center of a murder mystery in The Night Clerk -- and ET can exclusively debut the trailer.

Writer-director Michael Cristofer's upcoming thriller centers on a hotel clerk (X-Men's Tye Sheridan) who records hotel guests and imitates their behavior to improve his social skills. He explains as much when a young woman (de Armas) checks in while he's on duty.

"I watch people," Sheridan's Bart says in the trailer. "I study them."

"I guess you have a lot of people to watch at the hotel," she replies.

But when a woman is found dead during his shift, Bart becomes the prime suspect. Could his chance encounter with de Armas' character -- a connection that appears to lead to a kiss and then a fight -- have ended in murder? Helen Hunt co-stars as his protective mother, while John Leguizamo plays the lead detective on the case. Watch the trailer above.
