The first trailer for George Clooney’s 1950s-set crime comedy-drama Suburbicon has been released, co-written by Joel and Ethan Coen and starring Matt Damon as protagonist Gardner Lodge.

The black comedy is set in 1959 in a “peaceful, idyllic suburban community”, however that peace is soon shattered following the death of Lodge’s wife. What follows is a story of lies, deception, insurance cover-ups and revenge, revealing the town’s “dark underbelly of betrayal, deceit, and violence”.

Suburbicon will mark the fifth time Clooney has collaborated with the Coens, having previously worked together on O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Intolerable Cruelty, Burn After Reading, and Hail, Caesar!
