The first trailer for Dust Bunny just dropped from Roadside Attractions – which also happens to be the directorial feature debut from Bryan Fuller. It looks visually compelling and like it could be a lot of fun – especially with leads Mads Mikkelsen and Sigourney Weaver packing a punch.
Dust Bunny seems to combine fairytale-esque horror with hitman action, carnage and chaos with assassins and nightmare monsters that may actually be real.
According to the official synopsis:
In visionary creator Bryan Fuller’s fantastical & wickedly inventive feature directorial debut Dust Bunny, a 10 year-old girl who joins forces with her hitman neighbor to confront each other’s monsters. Ten year-old Aurora has a mysterious neighbor (Mikkelsen) who kills real-life monsters; he’s a hitman for hire.
So when Aurora needs help killing the monster that she believes ate her entire family, she procures his services. Suspecting that Aurora’s parents may have fallen victim to assassins gunning for him, the neighbor guiltily takes the job. To protect her, he’ll need to battle an onslaught of assassins and accept that some monsters are real.
The film also stars David Dastmalchian and Sheila Atim, along with newcomer Sophie Slone as Aurora.
Dust Bunny will premiere this week as part of the Midnight Madness section of the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival before making its way to cinemas on 5th December.
