You might be a fan ofReed Morano’s work without even realizing it. If you’ve been bingingThe Handmaid’s Taleor are fans ofBillions,Halt and Catch FireandLooking, there’s a good chance you’ve seen the Emmy-winner’s craft on the small screen. But Morano will next follow up her 2015 featureMeadowlandwith the release ofI Think We’re Alone Now, a tense two-hander that our ownAdam Chitwoodcalled “a story well worth experiencing, and a refreshingly character-centric addition to a well-worn genre” when it playedearlier this year at Sundance, where it also won the"U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Excellence in Filmmaking"award.
The first teaser forI Think We’re Alone Now, opening this September, is careful not to give away too much. Though, to be honest, there’s not much it can really tease beyond the conceit, which reveals thatPeter Dinklageis left wandering alone in a town that used to be populated by upwards of 1,600 people. But he’s not completely alone becauseElle Fanningis somewhere off-camera asking him about his experiences. It’s a sufficient teaser, but we’re hoping for another trailer with a little more meat on its bones before the movie opens. In the meantime, you can see what Morano, Dinklage, and Fanning had to say inSteve Weintraub’sSundance interview with the team here.

Here’s the official synopsis forI Think We’re Alone Now:
Del (Peter Dinklage) is alone in the world. After the human race is wiped out, he lives in his small, empty town, content in his solitude and the utopia he’s methodically created for himself - until he is discovered by Grace (Elle Fanning), an interloper whose history and motives are obscure. Worse yet, she wants to stay.
