Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri are literally fighting for a chance to find love at their high school in the first full trailer for the forthcoming comedy Bottoms.
Director Emma Seligman’s feature focuses on Pj (Sennott) and Josie (Edebiri), who start a fight club in an unconventional effort to lose their virginities to two popular cheerleaders. The MGM film hits theaters Aug. 25 after premiering at South by Southwest in March, and its cast includes Kaia Gerber, Havana Rose Liu, Nicholas Galitzine, Dagmara Domińczyk and Marshawn Lynch.
“We teach a bunch of girls how to defend themselves,” Sennott explains to Edebiri in the trailer. “They are grateful to us. Adrenaline is flowing. Next thing you know, Isabel and Brittany are kissing us on the mouths!”
Later in the footage, Edebiri offers words of praise for their fellow schoolmates. “They deserve a shot at showing everybody how fucking cool they are,...

“Shiva Baby” director Emma Seligman is back with her follow-up feature, “Bottoms” and it looks to be a bloody good time. Seligman reteams with Rachel Sennott, who also co-wrote the film, as well as “The Bear” star Ayo Edebiri for a story of two unpopular high school girls who start a school fight club in order to lose their virginity before graduation.
Similar to the road trip comedy “Joy Ride,” coming out in July, the explicit trailer for “Bottoms” revels in not just the blood of a fight club, but the irreverent, crass humor that no doubt will get audiences invested. The cringe humor is also on full display, with the trailer culminating with Edebiri and Sennott having to tell their high school teacher, played hilariously by Marshawn Lynch, that he shouldn’t discuss sexual matters with teenage girls at school.

MGM has released the first official trailer for the upcoming comedy “Bottoms,” starring Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri.
In a nod to David Fincher’s “Fight Club,” “Bottoms” follows two queer teen girls who start a fight club with a plan to lose their virginities to cheerleaders. According to the film’s official logline, “Their bizarre plan works. The fight club gains traction and soon the most popular girls in school are beating each other up in the name of self-defense. But Pj (Sennott) and Josie (Edebiri) find themselves in over their heads and in need of a way out before their plan is exposed.”
Director Emma Seligman co-wrote the screenplay with Sennott, who starred in the filmmaker’s 2020 indie hit “Shiva Baby.” Sennott stars in “Bottoms” opposite “The Bear” breakout star Edebiri, as well as Havana Rose Liu, Kaia Gerber, Nicholas Galitzine, Dagmara Dominczyk and Marshawn Lynch.

“Thoroughbred” is a two character piece set in an imposing residence where the young women, teenagers, come together for tutoring but it quickly develops beyond that into new — and dangerous — territory.Director Cory Finley with stars Olivia Cooke, Anya Taylor-Joy
Emotionally challenged Amanda and contemptuous Lily reboot their childhood friendship after years of instability and judgment, thrown back together by standardized-test tutoring.
When Lily’s icy stepdad, Mark, conspires to ship her off to reform school instead of her dream college, Amanda’s nonchalant quips about killing him suddenly seem enticing. Even as Amanda’s sinister tendencies surface and the girls hatch a plan, the mutual manipulation that has always defined their relationship threatens to derail their ambitions.
They have a history which enables them to confide and challenge and manipulate one another.
Part of the attraction of this film is the unstable emotional ground each inhabits...
