Pairing romance, sci-fi, and psychological thriller genres may seem unconventional, but Drew Hancock is pulling it off with his upcoming movie, Companion, and we can’t wait to see the result. As a talented writer, actor, and director, Hancock’s expertise combined with a stellar cast promises a winning formula – and the official trailer only fuels our anticipation.
With Hancock at the helm, expectations are high for a thought-provoking and visually stunning film. Warner Bros. Pictures recently released the official trailer for Companion and it has garnered plenty of attention from audiences as they patiently wait for its release later this month!
Sophie Thatcher Stuns as Iris
Sophie Thatcher is set to shine as Iris in Companion if the official trailer is any indication. At first glance, the film appears to be a straightforward meet-cute, with a chance grocery store encounter sparking love at first sight. But don’t be fooled – the truth is far more complex, and you’re in for a wild ride.

As the trailer progresses, it delivers a series of shocking twists and surprises, seamlessly blending sci-fi and psychological thriller elements with a dark, unsettling take on romance. Joining Sophie Thatcher is Jack Quaid as Josh, a casting choice that may raise eyebrows, but so far, it’s paying off – and we predict it will be a career-defining role for Quaid.
Iris finds her modified in certain ways, where the sci-fi element comes into the picture, and while the official trailer of Companion doesn’t give away too many details, one can expect elements like sex bot and dark themes which will be explored. Oh, and there will be plenty of gore for all those who love it!

Lifshitz, in association with New Line Cinema, BoulderLight Pictures, and Vertigo Entertainment. The distribution rights of the movie are acquired by Warner Bros. Pictures.
