Ashley Madekwe Is Anxious In The First Trailer For Thriller 'The Strays'
Jan. 26 (UPI) -- It's hard to tell what happens in the trailer for Netflix's new Tramps movie -- not to be confused with Tramps , slated for release in 2023, an animated feature film starring starring Jamie Foxx, Isla Fisher and Willpower. Ferrel
Trumps is written and directed by director, actor and playwright Nathaniel Martello-White, best known for his work on Red Tails, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 and Silent Night. This is his first film after the award-winning short film Cla'am in 2017.
In the trailer, British actress Ashley Madekwe looks like a devoted wife from Stepford living in an affluent white community that values conformity.
"You're almost one of us," a woman tells him over dinner in the first part of the trailer. There's a closet full of wigs, a spotless house, and a "perfect" family.
Although Madekwe is biracial in real life, her barren but seemingly happy life in the trailer has traces of all ethnicities.
But then the hero Madekwe begins to see two black people - a man and a woman who could be brother and sister, or maybe a couple. Whether they are family members, strangers, people from his past or his imagination is never revealed, but whatever their character, they are unstable. Nobody else sees them.
Madekwe, a 2019 BAFTA nominee for County Line , is best known to American audiences as Ashley Davenport in Revenge and Tituba in Salem . Jordan Mairi, the mysterious man who haunts Madekwe's character, is currently filming Mood on AMC+. And rising BAFTA EE 2021 star Bucky Bakre, who starred in Rocks , is the trailer's wife who accompanies Myra's character.
Filmed in London, Suffolk and Berkshire in 2021, The Stress is available on Netflix on February 22.
