Netflix on Thursday released a trailer for its upcoming film “The Devil All The Time,” which was filmed in Alabama and features an ensemble cast including Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson.
The streaming content giant says its new movie “renders a seductive and horrific landscape that pits the just against the corrupted.”
The trailer released Thursday showcases a grim, unsettling tone with multiple shots framed in darkness and scored with ominous music.
The movie was filmed in 2019 from February to April. Several locations across Alabama were used during production, including a street in downtown Anniston that was dressed to match the movie’s post-World War II setting.
“The Devil All The Time” is an adaptation of the 2011 novel of the same name by Donald Ray Pollock, which spent weeks on the bestsellers list. The film is directed by Antonio Campos.
The movie appears to have piqued the interest of many on the internet. It accrued 1.6 million views on Youtube in the first five hours it was online.
Tommy Fell of the Alabama Film Office told the Elmore Autauga News that “The Devil All The Time” is the largest production to shoot in the Yellowhammer State since Tim Burton’s “Big Fish” in 2003.
Holland portrays the son of a WWII veteran who is pitted against an evil preacher portrayed by Robert Pattinson and other nefarious characters in the small town where he lives.
The various spots the crew used across Alabama will be used to create the small Ohio town where the movie is set.
Holland is familiar to many moviegoers as the most recent actor to portray Spider-Man, a performance that earned him high marks from critics and many devoted fans.
“The Devil All The Time” will premiere September 16, exclusively on Netflix.
