Magnolia Pictures isn’t releasing Serena in theaters until March 27, 2015, which means this collaboration between Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper won’t be getting the awards consideration their previous two films, Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, received. Directed by Susanne Bier (Things We Lost in the Fire) and based on the novel by Ron Rash, the cast also includes Toby Jones and Rhys Ifans.

And while it won’t hit theaters for a while, the studio has just released a new domestic trailer for the dramatic thriller.

The Plot:

North Carolina mountains at the end of the 1920s – George (Bradley Cooper) and Serena Pemberton (Jennifer Lawrence), love-struck newly-weds, begin to build a timber empire. Serena soon proves herself to be equal to any man: overseeing loggers, hunting rattle-snakes, even saving a man’s life in the wilderness. With power and influence now in their hands, the Pembertons refuse to let anyone stand in the way of their inflated love and ambitions. However, once Serena discovers George’s hidden past and faces an unchangeable fate of her own, the Pemberton’s passionate marriage begins to unravel leading toward a dramatic reckoning.
