A24's next big release might also be the cutest yet. The studio has just released the first trailer for The legend of Ochia fantasy adventure that also features a cute-as-hell creature to rival Grogu.
Although it seems like a somewhat familiar “child befriends a mysterious creature” story, the film has some interesting aspects, including not only the titular creature, but also what appears to be some sort of setting post-apocalyptic fantasy. Here is the official description:
In a remote northern village, a young girl, Yuri, is raised to never go out after dark and to fear the solitary forest creatures known as ochi. When a baby ochi is abandoned by his pack, she embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to reunite him with his family.
The legend of Ochi comes from the screenwriter and director Isaiah Saxonwho has already directed several music videos for artists like Björk, and here makes his first feature film. The cast includes Helena Zengel, Finn Wolfhard, Emily Watson and Willem Dafoe. There's no premiere date yet, but A24 says the film is “coming soon.”
