Lionsgate has shared the official Freaky Tales trailer for its upcoming action comedy anthology, featuring a star-studded cast led by The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal. The film had its world premiere at last year’s Sundance Film Festival, and is now scheduled to arrive in theaters on April 4, 2025.
“Set in 1987 Oakland, the film is a multi-track mixtape of colorful characters — an NBA star, a corrupt cop, a female rap duo, teen punks, neo-Nazis, and a debt collector — on a collision course in a fever dream of showdowns and battles. This pulpy blend of explosive action, edgy humor, gory kills, and sly twists and turns makes for one wild ride,” reads the official synopsis.
