‘The Curse’ trailer: Emma Stone, Nathan Fielder star in a genre-defying Showtime series

The Hindu  

The trailer of the upcoming genre-defying series The Curse, headlined by Emma Stone, Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie, was unveiled by Showtime on Thursday. The trailer begins with Fielder and Stone’s characters who have moved to the southwestern town of Española to do some home-flipping activities as a part of their new television show. Things take a turn when we see Fielder giving money to a young Black girl in a parking lot, on camera, only to snatch it back from her once the camera stops rolling. Agitated by his action, the girl says, “I curse you.” “The Curse explores how an alleged curse disturbs the relationship of a newly married couple as they try to conceive a child while co-starring in their new home-improvement show,” reads the plot description from the makers.

LA Times  

It was a foregone conclusion that “The Curse,” co-created by and co-starring Nathan Fielder, from “Nathan for You” and “The Rehearsal,” and Benny Safdie of the film-directing Safdie Brothers, of “Good Time” and “Uncut Gems,” would be at least interesting.
