MANIAC Trailer Drops Starring Jonah Hill, Emma Stone and Some "Multi-Reality Brain Magic Shit"

Netflix has been dumping out a lot of original movies and series lately, and it feels like most have been a swing and a miss.  Every time I open that thing up there’s a new featured movie that auto-plays the trailer which totally isn’t annoying at all.  Last one I checked out was “How It Ends” which is, if I’m being generous, dogshit.

Looks like we finally got one to look forward to at the end of September.

The premise, via Wikipedia: 

Maniac follows “Annie Landsberg and Owen Milgrim, two strangers drawn to the late stages of a mysterious pharmaceutical trial, each for their own reasons. Annie’s disaffected and aimless, fixated on broken relationships with her mother and her sister; Owen, the fifth son of wealthy New York industrialists, has struggled his whole life with a disputed diagnosis of schizophrenia. Neither of their lives have turned out quite right, and the promise of a new, radical kind of pharmaceutical treatment—a sequence of pills its inventor, Dr. James K. Mantleray, claims can repair anything about the mind, be it mental illness or heartbreak—draws them and ten other strangers to the facilities of Neberdine Pharmaceutical and Biotech for a three-day drug trial that will, they’re assured, with no complications or side-effects whatsoever, solve all of their problems, permanently.”

I’m in.
