Woman of the Hour Trailer Previews Anna Kendrick’s Mystery Crime Drama

VVS Films has finally shared the official Woman of the Hour trailer for the crime drama thriller, which hails from actor-director Anna Kendrick. The film had its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival. It is expected to be released in the U.S. by Netflix.

“In the 1970s Rodney Alcala went on a murder spree, luring women by posing as a photographer looking for models,” reads the synopsis. “Though already a registered sex offender and recently released from prison, he infamously appeared on The Dating Game, a show that introduced a set of three new bachelors each week, hidden from view as a woman asked them amusing questions before choosing a winner to go on an all-expenses-paid trip with her.”
