Focus Features on Wednesday (May 7) unveiled the trailer of director Ethan Coen’s upcoming dark comedy, Honey Don’t, starring Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, Charlie Day, and Chris Evans.

The trailer introduces us to Honey O’Donahue (Qualley), a small-time private investigator assigned to investigate the death of a woman who is somehow linked to a mysterious church headed by a debaucherous pastor (played by Evans). The trailer promises a hilarious yet intense dark comedy on cards.

Written by Coen and his frequent collaborator and wife Tricia Cooke, the film is said to be in the same vein as their previous collaboration, Drive-Away Dolls.

Also featuring in the cast are Charlie Day, Billy Eichner, Lera Abova, Jacnier, Gabby Beans, Talia Ryder, Kristen Connolly, Lena Hall, Don Swayze, Josh Pafchek, Kale Browne, Alexander Carstoiu, and Christian Antidormi.

Coen, Cooke, Robert Graf and Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner produce Honey Don’t. The film is set to premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival in the Midnight Screenings section. Universal Pictures will later release the film in theatres on August 22.
