Netflix has released the first trailer for “The Devil All the Time.” The film stars Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson in the lead roles. It will arrive straight on Netflix on September 16.
Adapted from Donald Ray Pollock’s book of the same name, the film is directed by Antonio Campos and it centers on an orphaned young man named Arvin Eugene Russell (Holland) and explores the psyches of various corrupt or broken characters between the end of World War II and the 1960s.
Pattinson will take on the role of a preacher named Preston Teagardin who feels fine bending and breaking the morals of those that typically align themselves with his profession. The actor took his knack for spontaneity to the set in order to shape the character.
The official synopsis says "In Knockemstiff, Ohio and its neighboring backwoods, sinister characters — an unholy preacher (Robert Pattinson), twisted couple (Jason Clarke and Riley Keough), and the crooked sheriff (Sebastian Stan) — converge around young Arvin Russell (Tom Holland) as he fights the evil forces that threaten him and his family. Spanning the time between World War II and the Vietnam war, director Antonio Campos’ THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME renders a seductive and horrific landscape that pits the just against the corrupted."
The thriller-drama also stars Bill Skarsgard, Sebastian Stan, Riley Keough, Mia Wasikowska, Jason Clarke, Haley Bennett, Eliza Scanlen, Harry Melling, and Pokey LaFarge.
