The wait is over, and the first look suggests we are in for a wild ride. A24 has dropped the trailer for The Drama, a new romantic dramedy that pairs Hollywood heavyweights Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a couple whose wedding week descends into complete chaos. This film promises to deliver a fresh, vibrant, and hilariously unhinged take on the relationship genre, tapping into the audience’s appetite for sophisticated, unpredictable storytelling.
The movie is the latest offering from Norwegian director Kristoffer Borgli, who previously blew minds with the Nicolas Cage-led Dream Scenario. If you saw that film, you know Borgli is fearless when it comes to mixing styles and tones, a tradition The Drama looks set to follow. The cryptic official synopsis hints at the mayhem: “A happily engaged couple is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails.”
The trailer itself is structured around the couple’s tense meeting with their wedding photographer, punctuated by bizarre glimpses of their “big day” looking utterly unhinged. Fortunately, the highly-rumored and widely speculated big twist is mercifully not revealed in the clip, keeping the suspense high. This focus on the high-stakes, pressure-cooker environment of wedding planning is a relatable human angle, amplified by Borgli’s penchant for the absurd.
The partnership of Zendaya and Pattinson is proving to be 2026’s cinematic power duo, with The Drama being one of three major films they star in together next year, alongside The Odyssey and Dune 3. This film, however, gives them a chance to play in a genre that blends comedy with sharp psychological thrills. The film boasts an incredible supporting cast, including Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, and Hailey Gates. The reunion of Borgli with producers Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen, both known for elevated genre storytelling, guarantees a unique and memorable theater experience.
Get ready to watch Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s onscreen wedding fall apart in the best possible way. This spring release is one you won’t want to miss.
