Death Of A Unicorn

A24, known for its boundary-pushing films, is adding yet another intriguing project to its slate: Death of a Unicorn. Directed by Alex Scharfman, the dark comedy stars Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega as a father and daughter who accidentally hit and kill a unicorn during a late-night drive. This bizarre premise sets the stage for a surreal exploration of grief, family dynamics, and corporate exploitation.

The film blends quirky humor with sharp social commentary, a hallmark of A24’s storytelling approach. With Rudd’s comedic charm and Ortega’s rising star power, Death of a Unicorn promises to be as emotionally layered as it is bizarrely entertaining. Its magical realism, paired with biting wit, aligns with A24's reputation for producing unconventional yet thought-provoking cinema.

Like many A24 projects, Death of a Unicorn is expected to make waves among indie film enthusiasts. As the studio continues to dominate streaming and digital platforms, the release strategy will likely include an exclusive theatrical run followed by availability on platforms like Apple TV+ or Amazon Prime Video.
