In a story that channels the spirit of infamous outlaws Bonnie and Clyde, Samara Weaving and Kyle Gallner find love and rob banks in the first teaser trailer for Magnolia Pictures‘ romantic crime thriller Carolina Caroline.
Directed by Adam Carter Rehmeier (Dinner in America) and written by Tom Dean (Charlie Harper), the film follows Caroline Daniels (Weaving), whose desire to leave her small Texas town leads her to a charismatic con man (Gallner). Together, the two leave a trail of crime and passion across the American Southeast. Also starring Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer) and Jon Gries (Napoleon Dynamite), the film features a country music soundtrack with songs from artists including Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton, and Loretta Lynn.
Samara Weaving has been busy as of late, with her newest film Ready or Not 2: Here I Come now playing in cinemas and Over Your Dead Body co-starring Jason Segel releasing in the US April 24 (UK release TBC).
Kyle Gallner is part of the Smile and Scream franchises and also had a role in American Sniper.
Synopsis from TIFF:
In his latest slice of anarchic Americana, writer-director Adam Carter Rehmeier first introduces us to the always effervescent Samara Weaving (Guns Akimbo, TIFF ’19) as Caroline. Listless and living a small life in a small town, she dutifully cares for her single father (Jon Gries), though she longs to break from her dusty and dull world. But when she observes a handsome drifter (Kyle Gallner) pull a sly con for a few bucks, her curiosity sparks an introduction that ignites an apprenticeship. Before long, their lucrative, if untenable, criminal enterprise dovetails into a passionate romance.
Carolina Caroline premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2025 and is scheduled to hit US theatres on June 5. A release date for the UK is still TBC.
