Where the Crawdads Sing trailer reveals love and murder

This summer, Sony Pictures will adapt Delia Owens’ bestselling novel, Where the Crawdads Sing. Daisy Edgar-Jones stars in the film as Catherine “Kya” Clarke, a young woman who was abandoned by her family in the early ’50s. But rather than become a ward of the state, Kya managed to fend for herself in the wilds of a North Carolina marsh. She could have been happy there, but Kya couldn’t keep the rest of the world away forever.

In the new trailer for the movie, we see that Kya is courted by two young men: Tate Walker (Taylor John Smith) and Chase Andrews (Harris Dickinson). But with love comes heartbreak, betrayal, and even murder. When one of Kya’s suitors is found dead in the marsh, she is quickly arrested and put on trial for murder. However, Kya has never allowed anyone to walk all over her, and she’s not about to start now.

Here’s the official description of the film:

“From the best-selling novel comes a captivating mystery. Where the Crawdads Sing tells the story of Kya, an abandoned girl who raised herself to adulthood in the dangerous marshlands of North Carolina. For years, rumors of the ‘Marsh Girl’ haunted Barkley Cove, isolating the sharp and resilient Kya from her community. Drawn to two young men from town, Kya opens herself to a new and startling world; but when one of them is found dead, she is immediately cast by the community as the main suspect. As the case unfolds, the verdict as to what actually happened becomes increasingly unclear, threatening to reveal the many secrets that lay within the marsh.”

Netflix has a popular new thriller, Nowhere. Here’s why you should watch it
Anna Castillo in Nowhere.

Nowhere, a new Netflix original film from Spain, has unexpectedly become a breakout hit and reached the upper tier of the most popular movies on Netflix. That's no small feat considering that this movie didn't get a lot of promotion, and that the lead actress, Anna Castillo, isn't well-known outside of her native country. And yet, Nowhere is currently higher on Netflix's movie chart than established hits like The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Albert Pintó directed the film from a script by Ernest Riera, Miguel Ruz, Indiana Lista, Seanne Winslow, and Teresa Rosendoy. Castillo stars as Mia, a woman who is attempting to escape a deadly regime in Spain alongside her husband, Nico (Tamar Novas). When the pair are separated before soldiers massacre the other refugees, Mia finds herself alone in a cargo container that is slowly sinking into the ocean. And if she doesn't find a way to escape, then both Mia and her unborn child will die.
