Buffalo 8 has released the official trailer for Et Tu, a darkly comedic and twisted theatrical satire written and directed by Max Tzannes. Slated for release on July 25, 2025, the film stars Lou Diamond Phillips in the lead role as Brent, a frustrated director unraveling in the confines of a dying regional theater—haunted not by ghosts, but by mediocrity, betrayal, and a dangerously convenient secret.
The trailer introduces Brent’s spiral into madness as he’s forced to watch his own poorly received play, a low-budget rendition of Julius Caesar, night after night with dwindling audiences. On top of that, he suspects his wife is having an affair with the play’s egotistical leading man. The absurdity builds to a breaking point, until Brent meets the theater’s mysterious janitor, who offers a cryptic solution to his woes—one soaked in secrets and possibly blood.
With a cast that includes Malcolm McDowell, Antwone Barnes, Isabella Blake-Thomas, Rachel Alig, and Brennan Keel Cook, Et Tu blends sharp dialogue, meta-theater commentary, and psychological tension to explore what happens when ego, ambition, and art collide in the worst ways. The film walks the fine line between comedy and horror, wrapped in a self-aware nod to Shakespearean betrayal and theatrical burnout.
Set to release on the same day as Son of Sardaar 2, Et Tu brings a distinct, genre-bending voice to the July 25th lineup. For audiences craving something more offbeat and cerebral, Max Tzannes’ feature promises a darkly funny exploration of failure, paranoia, and the lengths to which one man will go to save his legacy—and his sanity.
