Netflix have now revealed the trailer and some preview photos ahead of the upcoming action-thriller Lou, starring Oscar-winner Allison Janney and Emmy-nominee Jurnee Smollett. The exciting new production is set for release on September 23rd.
The film, from cinematographer and director Anna Foerster, of Westworld fame, follows Lou (portrayed by Janney), a woman who thinks she’s put her dangerous past behind her but finds her peaceful new life upended when a desperate mother (Smollett) pleads for her to help save her kidnapped daughter.
