Anna Kendrick makes her official directorial debut with the first trailer for 'Woman of the Hour,' her upcoming Netflix movie out October 18.

Anna Kendrick’s *Woman of the Hour* is set to be released on October 18 and has a runtime of one hour and thirty-five minutes. The film originally premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2023. In addition to Kendrick herself, the cast includes Tony Hale, Daniel Zovatto, Kelley Jakle, and more.

The "Pitch Perfect" star's new teaser opens with Kendrick's character on a date, across from Daniel Zovatto's character, whose off-color comments leave Kendrick's character feeling uncomfortable. When she tries to escape the date, Zovatto's character confronts Kendrick's in the parking lot to confirm that she has given him the correct phone number.

Netflix shared the first teaser trailer for Woman of the Hour on Tuesday, Sept. 17, a film inspired by the story of Rodney Alcala, a real-life serial killer in the 1970s. Kendrick, 39, stars as bachelorette Cheryl Bradshaw, who appeared on a dating show called The Dating Game.

The 2022 production "Woman of the Hour" did not see a theatrical release in the United States. The very good reviews from critics at the ceremonial premiere of the film at the Toronto festival were not enough.

Anna Kendrick couldn’t let Ryan Murphy’s Monster series have all the fun. The Self Reliance actor is taking on her own historic serial killer in her directorial debut Woman Of The Hour, which tells the story of Rodney Alcala,
