Ben Affleck’s Animals Visual Teaser

A new crime thriller is ready to ignite the screen, following the premiere of the first trailer for Animals on Netflix.

This high-stakes drama centers on a desperate race against time. The story kicks off when the son of Los Angeles mayoral candidate Mark Kimball is kidnapped, forcing him and his wife Abigail to scramble for a ransom payment in just a few hours.

With their financial resources tied up in political campaigns, the couple must push beyond their public facade. They are forced to expose uncomfortable, hidden aspects of their lives as they delve into a world they never intended to see.

The film brings together a talented cast and a compelling narrative structure. Ben Affleck and Kerry Washington anchor the story as Mark and Abigail, navigating intense personal peril alongside the criminal investigation.

Supporting the lead actors are several formidable talents. Gillian Anderson plays the candidate’s sharp ‘fixer’, while Steven Yeun steps in as the campaign manager, adding layers of professional tension to their crisis.

The script for Animals was penned by Connor McIntyre, with subsequent revisions handled by Affleck and Billy Ray. The production is helmed by a team including Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Dani Bernfeld, Brad Weston, and Collin Creighton.

Animals is set to debut in select cinemas and stream exclusively on Netflix starting October 9th, promising viewers a gripping blend of crime, personal drama, and high tension. It marks a compelling addition to the streaming landscape.
