Netflix’s ‘Reptile’ Trailer Features a Grizzled Benicio Del Toro Interrogating a Shifty Justin Timberlake

Netflix dropped the first trailer for Reptile on Monday morning, and I’m just going to call it now: Justin Timberlake is totally the killer. Seriously. Watch the trailer above, and tell me I’m wrong! It’s totally him, right?

This new crime thriller movie—premiering at Toronto Film Festival next month, and coming to Netflix on October 6—is the features directorial debut for Grant Singer, who is best known for directing music videos for artists like The Weeknd and Travi$ Scott. The screenplay is co-written by Singer, Benjamin Brewer and Benicio Del Toro, and stars Del Toro as the lead detective on a murder case. The victim? A realtor who was stabbed to death in a show home. The suspects? The victim’s current boyfriend (Timberlake), her drug-dealing ex (Karl Glusman), and a random weirdo with a grudge (Michael Pitt). It’s up to Tom and his team to crack the case. Luckily, he has the emotional support of his wife, Judy, played by Alicia Silverstone. Additional cast members include Eric Bogosian, Domenick Lombardozzi, Frances Fisher, Ato Essandoh, and Matilda Lutz.

In the trailer, which you can watch in the player above, we meet Del Toro and all of the suspects. Timberlake tearfully recounts finding his girlfriend’s body, but I’m not buying it. C’mon. If the 1996 seminal horror classic Scream has taught us anything, it’s that it’s always the boyfriend. But in a recent interview with Grant for Entertainment Weekly, the director promised audiences they won’t see where this one is headed.

“I think the movie will be exciting to people who like to watch something where you don’t know where it’s leading you, where a film is going to have twists and turns and deceive you,” Grant said. “And people who like things that are intense and visceral and suspenseful, I think they’ll find something exciting in this.”

We’ll see. But if I was Del Toro, I’d lock up Timberlake ASAP.

Reptile opens in select theaters on September 29 and will begin streaming on Netflix on October 6.
