Ortega and Freeman to lead psychological thriller

THE much-anticipated trailer for Miller’s Girl, a psychological thriller featuring Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman, has finally been unveiled, offering a tantalising glimpse into the mysterious narrative meticulously crafted by director and writer Jade Halley Bartlett.

At the heart of the story is Cairo Sweet, brilliantly portrayed by Ortega, a gifted female student intricately entwined in a complex relationship with her teacher, Jonathan Miller, played by the Emmy-winning Freeman.

The catalyst for this intriguing connection is Miller’s assignment for Cairo to create a short story inspired by her beloved author.

While the initial tension between the esteemed teacher and the skilled student is subtle, the trailer tantalisingly hints at an impending escalation, promising a rollercoaster of gripping psychological twists.

Miller’s Girl stands as another compelling chapter in Ortega’s dynamic career, following her standout role in the Scream franchise alongside Melissa Barrera.

Audiences can also relish her performance in the action-packed drama Finestkind, which premiered on Paramount Plus Dec 15 of the previous year.

Furthermore, Ortega is poised to join an illustrious cast, including Michael Keaton, Catherine O’Hara, Winona Ryder and Willem Dafoe, in the highly anticipated Beetlejuice 2, which recently completed filming.

In this psychological thriller, Ortega shares the screen with the seasoned Emmy-winning actor Freeman, alongside a talented supporting cast featuring Dagmara Dominczyk, Bashir Salahuddin alongside Gideon Adlon.

Behind the scenes, the film boasts a stellar production team, including producers Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Josh Fagen and Mary-Margaret Kunze.

Scheduled for an exclusive theatrical release on Jan 26, Miller’s Girl promises to captivate audiences with its intricate storytelling, nuanced performances and the suspenseful allure of the psychological thriller genre.

As Ortega continues to diversify her roles, this film stands as a testament to her growing prominence in the entertainment industry.
