Denzel Washington and Rami Malek play a dangerous game with Jared Leto in the first trailer for “The Little Things.” Three Oscar-winning actors face off in writer-director John Lee Hancock’s psychological thriller. In the film, Washington plays Kern County Sheriff’s Deputy Joe “deke” deacon, who goes after a serial killer who terrorizes the city of Los Angeles. Sgt. Jim Baxter of the Los Angeles Police Department, portrayed by Malek, is leading the investigation.
Malek addressed Washington at the beginning of the trailer, saying, “You’re not exactly a department favorite. Things have probably changed a lot since you left, but you still have to catch it, right?” he says. Washington retreats and says, “at the time, it hasn’t changed that much.” he replies, and the cat-and-mouse chase begins. Leto enters the story as the prime suspect of the two lawmen, sharing a particularly tense and ultimately explosive interrogation scene with the Malek – Washington duo.
Although Leto’s mysterious character appears to escape as the trailer progresses, the story continues to get more mixed up, and tension increases as disturbing secrets are revealed. ” The little things that break you up, the little things that catch you up, ” Washington says at the end of the trailer. Natalie Morales, Terry Kinney, Chris Bauer, Joris Jarsky, Isabel Araiza, and Michael Hyatt are the main cast members of the film, while “the Little Things” is produced by Oscar-winner Mark Johnson (under the Gran Via Productions brand) and Hancock, Mike Drake and Kevin McCormick.
Rami Malek recently won his Best Actor Oscar for his role in “Bohemian Rhapsody,” in which he portrayed Freddie Mercury. A few years before that, Leto took home the Supporting Actor award for “Dallas Buyers Club,” and Denzel Washington took home the Best Actor award for “Training Day” and Best Supporting Actor for “Glory,” in addition to his many nominations. “The Little Things” will be released in theaters, and if the ban in our country is lifted by then, we will have a chance to watch it. In addition, the film will be available for viewing on HBO Max on January 29, 2021.
