Whatever you expected writer/director Drew Hancock’s Companion to be, odds are the trailer has completely altered your expectations. Promoted as a “new kind of love story,” the trailer opens with a voice-over by Iris (Sophie Thatcher, Heretic) confessing the two happiest moments in her life were when she met Josh (Jack Quaid, The Boys) and then when she killed him. It’s later revealed that Iris is actually a robot!
“It was one of the best scripts I’ve ever read,” said Quaid in an interview with EW. “I never saw any of the twists coming, but it’s not necessarily a movie that relies on a big reveal, and every reveal was fresh.”
