Young love and a penchant for robbery fuel the trailer for Marmalade, starring Stranger Things‘ Joe Keery, Daisy Jones and the Six actor Camila Morrone, and Black Adam star Aldis Hodge.
Directed and written by Keir O’Donnell, the romantic heist film valiantly channels a True Romance-lite vibe, following a pair of lovers and would-be criminals who decide to rob a bank — in creepy papier-mâché masks no less.
Keery trades Scoops Ahoy for romance and conspiracy as Baron, a small-town guy working for the post office and caring for his ailing mother. He falls for eponymous newcomer Marmalade (Morrone), a spirited rebel with Big Crime Plans. It doesn’t go well for Baron, as he’s telling his tale to his prison cellmate Otis (Hodge). With jailbreak plans afoot, however, there could be a reunion yet.
Marmalade is coming to cinemas and video on demand Feb. 9.
