“It’s an opportunity for immortality!” “We have a moral imperative to harvest every last one.” 🦄 A24 has unveiled a second trailer for the wacky comedy Death of a Unicorn, set for release in theaters at the end of March. It will also premiere at SXSW next month and probably bring down the house. Father & daughter duo Riley & Elliot hit a unicorn with their car and bring it to the wilderness retreat of a wealthy pharma CEO. They decide to study and harvest it, of course, only to end up in an even worse situation. It seems this white unicorn was just a baby and the, uh, parents come back to collect it and they definitely are not happy. “As they delve deeper into their research, they discover the deadly consequences of their actions.” Indeed. And – payback is a beast. Death of a Unicorn stars Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Will Poulter, Téa Leoni, and Richard E. Grant as the evil CEO. Great cast! Every last one! The first trailer dropped in December, and with the premiere coming up soon they’ve revealed another. But there’s not much more new footage in this to see – which makes me rather worried this isn’t going to be that good in the end. Have a look anyway.

Here’s the second official trailer for Alex Scharfman’s comedy Death of a Unicorn, from A24’s YouTube:

You can watch the first official trailer for Scharfman’s Death of a Unicorn right here to view more footage.

A man and his teenage daughter accidentally crash into a unicorn while they are en route to a crisis management summit with his boss Dell Leopold and Leopold’s family. The Leopolds seize the unicorn, and their scientists discover that its flesh, blood, and, most of all, its horn are endowed with supernaturally curative properties, which the Leopolds seek to exploit. However, as they delve deeper into their research, they discover the deadly consequences of their actions. Death of a Unicorn is a comedy written and directed by American producer / filmmaker Alex Scharfman, making his feature directorial debut after producing indie films including Lyle, Women Who Kill, Blow the Man Down, and Resurrection. It’s produced by Lucas Joaquin, Tyler Campellone, Drew Houpt, Lars Knudsen, Alex Scharfman, Tim Headington, Theresa Steele Page. This hasn’t premiered at any festivals yet or elsewhere, as far as we know. A24 will release Death of a Unicorn in select US theaters starting March 28th, 2025 coming soon.
