Admittedly, it’s a little strange seeingSophie Turnerin a role that isn’t Sansa Stark, and it’s even weirder to see her portray a bad guy, but she’s completely nailing the job in a clip for Netflix’s upcoming dark comedy,Do Revenge. The snippet sees Turner’s character, Erica, insisting that she doesn’t “even do cocaine” as she gets hauled off, presumably to rehab, while her peers look on in judgment. One of those fellow students isCamila Mendes’ Drea, who seems to have set up Erica in, well, an act of revenge.
As the title suggests, the film will center around a vengeance plot carried out by Drea and her new pal, Eleanor (Maya Hawke). For Drea, high school has turned into hell after a topless photo sent to her boyfriend, Max (Austin Abrams), has begun to circulate the halls. Meanwhile, new girl Eleanor is finding her reputation to already be tarnished after she’s accused of forcing a kiss on classmate, Carissa (Ava Capri). Bullied continuously by the other students, the two girls hatch a plan that sees each of them carrying out acts of revenge against their tormentors.
With the movie taking Netflix by storm tomorrow, today’s final day of promotional material has been a bountiful one. Along with the clip, which you can find below, Netflix’s Twitter account also released atrio of picturesfeaturing the school’s Headmaster portrayed by none other but Buffy herself,Sarah Michelle Gellar.
