LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND Trailer Strands Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke in Apocalypse

Netflix’s latest apocalyptic thriller has a cast and production team so star-studded we couldn’t hope to fit everyone involved in the title. But we’re happy to see this culmination of talent in Leave the World Behind‘s first teaser trailer. The new Netflix movie stars Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Kevin Bacon, and more. Of course, as if that weren’t enough, Sam Esmail writes and directs the film. And Leave the World Behind is produced by Barack and Michelle Obama. Phew. That’s a line-up of star power and talent if we ever heard one. But it’s more than just names. Leave the World Behind‘s first teaser trailer reveals an intense and suspicious thriller and a whole new apocalypse designed to set our nerves on edge. This disaster movie promises to hit hard psychologically. And we all know that’s where movies become truly scary.

You can take a look below to see Roberts, Ali, Hawke, and the rest in the teaser trailer for Leave the World Behind.

Leave the World Behind Teaser Trailer and Synopsis

The clanging notes in the first seconds of Leave the World Behind‘s teaser trailer tell us all we need to know. Everything is about to go very wrong. It all starts with one fated opening of a door. But what exactly is going on? Well, nothing good. But we don’t exactly know for sure yet. Cyberattacks are involved, but it also looks like natural disasters begin to take place. At any rate, it’s the erosion of trust and human niceties which are always the most horrifying. “What is the truth?” Julia Robert’s Leave the World Behind character Amanda asks. And isn’t that always the question?

Ultimately, “There is no going back to normal.” What a chilling and all-too-familiar note to conclude the Leave the World Behind trailer.
