Janus Films and Sideshow have released the official trailer for their upcoming thriller THE SHROUDS, which will launch in New York and Los Angeles on April 18th, 2025, before expanding nationwide on April 25th, 2025. The film world premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
The Shrouds is written and directed by David Cronenberg, and stars Diane Kruger, Vincent Cassel, Guy Pearce, and Sandrine Holt.
In an eerie, deceptively placid near-future, a techno-entrepreneur named Karsh (Cassel) has developed a new software that will allow the bereaved to bear witness to the gradual decay of loved ones dead and buried in the earth. While Karsh is still reeling from the loss of his wife (Kruger) from cancer—and falling into a peculiar sexual relationship with his wife’s sister (also Kruger)—a spate of vandalized graves utilizing his “shroud” technology begins to put his enterprise at risk, leading him to uncover a potentially vast conspiracy.
Written following the death of the director’s wife, the new film from David Cronenberg is both a profoundly personal reckoning with grief and a descent into noir-tinged dystopia, set in an ominous world of self-driving cars, data theft, and A.I. personal assistants.
