Alden Ehrenreich plays Edward Ridgeway, a young literary agent who heads to her secluded home in the <strong>Swiss Alps<\/strong> to pitch one final Tom Ripley novel, only to find himself trapped in a psychological standoff full of mind games, menace, and constant shifts in control. Corbijn directs, with Joanna Murray-Smith adapting her 2014 play <em>Switzerland<\/em>, and the result looks like a tight, dialogue-heavy chamber thriller with real suspense, a few sharp twists, and the kind of polished prestige sheen awards voters tend to notice. Olivia Cooke and Juliet Stevenson are in the cast too, but the campaign is very clearly built around the Mirren-Ehrenreich showdown.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If stylish prestige thrillers are your thing, you\u2019ll probably want to watch this trailer.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s up now from Bleecker Street ahead of the film\u2019s TIFF premiere in September 2026 and its <strong>theatrical release<\/strong> on October 23, 2026. Bleecker Street also says the film is rated R for sexual content, some violence, and language. Mirren, meanwhile, is also set to receive TIFF\u2019s Share Her Journey Groundbreaker Award, according to TIFF.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"IMDb\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/41a6e8ea-9b61-11e6-98e4-00163ec9f5fa\/1359988889\/imdb-ripper-logo.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">IMDb<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/imdb-ripper.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/imdb-ripper.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bleecker Street has dropped a new trailer for A Talent for Murder, Anton Corbijn\u2019s next thriller, ahead of the film\u2019s Toronto International Film Festival premiere in September 2026.
