WATCH: Everyone is a suspect in the Woman in the Window trailer

Woman in the Window trailer

Amy Adams leads an all-star cast into murder mystery territory.

Hey kids, remember Rear Window?

How about Disturbia?

What of that Simpsons episode where Bart breaks his leg and thinks he sees Ned Flanders killing his wife?

If you’ve seen any of those, The Woman in the Window should feel familiar enough.

Still, there’s enough here to warrant another go-round, not least an all-star cast in the form of Amy Adams, Julianne Moore, Gary Oldman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bryan Tyree Henry, Another Mackie and Wyatt ‘Son of Kurt’ Russell.

Plus, it does look like the filmmakers – including director Joe Wright of Atonement, Hanna and The Darkest Hour fame – are doing their best to inject a few twists, so it’s not just straight-up remake fodder.

The plot, for those who prefer to read about such things rather than simply watch the trailer, amounts to Adams’ reclusive psychologist witnessing what appears to be a murder only for numerous obstacles to confuse both her and the viewer.

The Woman in the Window arrives on 15 May, 2020.

Check out the first look below.
