“Am I a suspect?” “Everyone’s a suspect.” Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a gritty crime thriller titled Reptile, from director Grant Singer, making his first narrative feature film. A mysterious murder. A hardened detective. A truth more dangerous than they could have ever imagined. Nichols, a hardened New England detective unflinching in his pursuit of a strange case where nothing is as it seems, one that begins to dismantle the illusions in his own life. The director says this film has many twists & turns, and you won’t even know where it’s heading next. Benicio Del Toro stars as the detective; he also executive produced and co-wrote the screenplay as well. The cast also features Justin Timberlake, Eric Bogosian, Alicia Silverstone, Domenick Lombardozzi, Frances Fisher, Ato Essandoh, Michael Carmen Pitt, Karl Glusman, & Matilda Lutz. This is premiering at TIFF in September before it shows up on Netflix in October. Reminds me of Prisoners and other tricky crime films with multiple suspects & sneaky characters.

Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for Grant Singer’s Reptile, direct from Netflix’s YouTube:

“I think the movie will be exciting to people who like to watch something where you don’t know where it’s leading you, where a film is going to have twists and turns and deceive you. And people who like things that are intense and visceral and suspenseful, I think they’ll find something exciting in this.” –Director Grant Singer

Following the brutal murder of a young real estate agent, a hardened New England detective (Benicio Del Toro) attempts to uncover the truth in a case where nothing is as it seems, and by doing so dismantles the illusions in his own life. Reptile is directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Grant Singer, making his feature directorial debut with this after one other doc, Shawn Mendes: In Wonder, and many other music videos and short films previously. The screenplay is written by Grant Singer & Benjamin Brewer & Benicio Del Toro. Produced by Molly Smith, Thad Luckinbill, Trent Luckinbill for Netflix. Exec produced by Benicio Del Toro, Rachel Smith. This will first premiere at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival coming up soon. Netflix then debuts Singer’s Reptile streaming on Netflix starting October 6th, 2023 this fall. Who’s curious to watch?
