Kristen Stewart and Katy O’Brian get caught up in a web of bodybuilding and vengeance in the new trailer for Rose Glass’ Love Lies Bleeding, set to arrive next year.

In the film, Stewart plays Lou, a withdrawn gym manager, who becomes enamored with O’Brian’s Jackie when she stops by en route to a bodybuilding competition in Las Vegas. They strike up a fervent romance, but their relationship soon becomes entangled with Lou’s criminal family.

Ed Harris — looking like a nastier, sleazier, more brutish version of the little weirdo Will Forte played on I Think You Should Leave — plays the crime boss patriarch and ostensible target for Lou and Jackie. The trailer is a fraught blast of sex and violence, shootouts and bodies getting rolled up in rugs, FBI investigations, and extremely toned muscles.

Love Lies Bleeding will have its premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival in January. It’s set for a wider release on March 8, 2024.

Along with Stewart, O’Brian, and Harris, the film features Dave Franco, Jena Malone, and Anna Baryshnikov. For Glass, Love Lies Bleeding marks her second feature film, following her acclaimed 2021 psychological horror flick Saint Maud (which landed at Number One on Rolling Stone‘s list of the 10 Best Horror Films of 2021).

And for Stewart, Love Lies Bleeding isn’t the only film she’ll have debuting at Sundance next year (and with the word “love” in the title). She’ll also star alongside Steven Yeun in Love Me, a new post-apocalyptic, sci-fi romance written and directed by Sam Zuchero and Andy Zuchero. The two projects come after Stewart didn’t appear in any movies in 2023, though she did co-create and narrate a new paranormal reality series, Living for the Dead, and directed a short film for Boygenius’ The Record.
