Read Quaid's full comments below:
I thought it was one of the best scripts I've ever read. [Director] Drew Hancock did a great job crafting this and making a story that I was never sure where it was going the entire time. It's a very timely story. It’s one of those things I read, just like The Boys, where I thought, “I have to be a part of this.” And I remember meeting with Drew and saying, “If you want me, I'm yours. This is unbelievable.” And thank God I was able to be a part of it because it really was one of my favorite experiences I've had as an actor. It has such a great cast that I was very lucky to work with, like Sophie Thatcher, Megan Suri, Harvey Guillén, Lukas Gage, Rupert Friend. It was kind of a killer fight that I got to watch at work. … I'm really excited for people to check it out. I implore them: if it's a movie you're already going to see, try to do as little research as possible. It's a film that's best appreciated when you go in as blind as possible. So if you're already going to see it, don't even watch the next trailer that comes out. Like, please don't. If you are still on the fence, take note and make that decision for yourself.

The first Partner The trailer was released in early October 2024 and begins with Jack Quaid and Sophie Thatcher's characters seemingly having a romantic dinner, while superimposed text teases that "New Line Cinema, the studio that brought you The Notebook, cordially invites you to experience a new kind of love story." Shortly afterwards, it is revealed that Thatcher's character is handcuffed to the chairand the trailer takes a tonal turn, teasing it as "from the unhinged creators of Barbarian”, an acclaimed 2022 horror film.
The rest of Partner The trailer is light on plot, although Quaid's character appears to be holding Thatcher captive and torturing her for his own pleasure. Quaid's comments suggest that the next Partner trailer will reveal much more about the filmpossibly in relation to the group of friends, who the billionaire is and the nature of his death. Partner was also previously reported to be a sci-fi thriller, suggesting there is still much more to be revealed about the enigmatic film.
They reflect a larger debate surrounding modern movie trailers
