🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Glen Powell has decided to make a literal killing because apparently, running from The Running Man or flying jets in Top Gun just wasn’t profitable enough. 🚨
Hold onto your tiny hats, cinema lovers, because STUDIOCANAL has just dropped the international trailer for *HOW TO MAKE A KILLING*, and it looks like someone mixed *Kind Hearts and Coronets* with a PowerPoint presentation on how to commit tax fraud. 🤡
According to the official synopsis (which I definitely didn’t write while drinking cheap coffee), our hero Becket Redfellow—played by Glen Powell, a man whose jawline could cut diamonds—has been “disowned at birth.” Oh no! The horror! Imagine being kicked out of your “obscenely wealthy family” and forced to… get a job? 🤯 It’s a premise so original it’s only been done in literally every Victorian novel ever written, but sure, let’s pretend this is groundbreaking. Becket apparently “stops at nothing” to get his inheritance, which is Hollywood code for “he kills a lot of relatives so we can watch him do it from the safety of a sticky cinema seat.” 😈
The trailer features a lot of smirking, a lot of walking in slow motion, and a coffin that probably costs more than my entire apartment building. 💀 It’s giving “Rich People Problems: The Movie,” but with more murder and slightly better lighting. Directed by John Patton Ford (who previously directed *Emily The Criminal*, which sounds like a documentary about my bank account), this film asks the tough questions: “What if a guy wanted money, but like, *really* bad?” Riveting stuff. Truly.
We’ve got an absolute murderer’s row of supporting actors here. 🎭 We’ve got Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Zach Woods (hey, it’s Jared from Silicon Valley! I bet he’s still trying to delete his cookies), Topher Grace (still riding that *That ’70s Show* check?), and Ed Harris. Yes, Ed Harris is in this. 🤨 Why? Because Ed Harris is contractually obligated to appear in at least one movie per year where he stares intensely at the camera and says something profound about the human soul.
Here’s the plot summary for those of you who love spoilers: Becket is poor, his family is rich, and he needs to fix that imbalance by any means necessary. It’s basically *The Wolf of Wall Street* but with less cocaine and more… inheritance disputes? Actually, hold the phone, there’s still time for cocaine. Let’s not rule it out.
If you want to watch Glen Powell aggressively pursue a better credit score while wearing a nice suit, you can do so in UK and Irish cinemas starting March 13th. 🇬🇧🇮🇪 Mark your calendars! Set your alarms! Tell your rich relatives to watch their backs! 👀
Here is the poster, which features a coffin because nothing says “comedy” like a box for a dead body. 📦😂

Watch the trailer below if you enjoy watching rich people fight over scraps of paper. Or don’t. I’m not your dad. 🤷♂️
In conclusion, *HOW TO MAKE A KILLING* is coming to tell us that greed is good, murder is hilarious (if you’re rich), and Glen Powell should probably be stopped before he takes over the entire film industry one smirk at a time. 😏 See you at the movies, or don’t. I’ll be the one in the back eating popcorn and judging everyone. 🍿✨
