‘Out of the Blue’ Trailer: Diane Kruger Stars in Neil LaBute’s New Thriller

Happy marriages don’t make for great noir tales, and writer/director Neil LaBute’s Out of the Blue focuses on a wife who’s definitely not happy. The trailer introduces Diane Kruger (Swimming with Sharks) as Marilyn Chambers, a seductive woman who lures in an ex-con to knock off her husband.

Ray Nicholson (son of Jack) stars as Connor Bates, the ex-con who falls under Marilyn’s spell. Hank Azaria (Brockmire) plays Connor’s parole officer and Chase Sui Wonders (Bodies Bodies Bodies) is Marilyn’s teenage daughter.

Quiver Distribution’s Out of the Blue opens in theaters and On Demand on August 26, 2022. The MPAA’s given the thriller an R rating for sexual content, language, and some violence.

The Plot: After spending time in prison following an assault charge, Connor Bates now works in a library and spends his free time running, swimming, and trying to piece his world back together. When he meets Marilyn Chambers, the wife of a wealthy businessman, they collide into an intense physical and emotional relationship that quickly escalates into idle talk about her husband’s murder.
