The Music Industry is Murder for Nicholas Hoult in the 'Kill Your Friends' Trailer


It seems Nicholas Hoult can escape violence wherever he goes. Whether it's in the post-apocalyptic future of Mad Max: Fury Road, the super-powered world of the X-Men, or even in the music industry as part of Kill Your Friends, a dark comedy set during the deadly '90s Britpop craze

The first Kill Your Friends trailer has been released and it's full of sex, drugs, music, and murder. Directed by Owen Harris (Black Mirror) with Craig Roberts (Submarine), James Corden, Rosanna Arquette, and Ed Skrein (Deadpool) co-starring, the film centers on a music exec who will go to murderous lengths to further his career.  Author John Niven wrote the screenplay based on his own novel.

Kill Your Friends debuts at TIFF next month but has yet to gain a U.S. release date.
