The wait is over: the official trailer for Henry Johnson, the upcoming psychological drama written and directed by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet, has finally dropped — and it’s as gripping and cerebral as you’d expect.
Slated for release on May 9th, 2025, Henry Johnson stars Evan Jonigkeit in the titular role — a man whose life spirals into uncertainty after one seemingly simple act of compassion. As his world unravels, Henry finds himself seeking direction from others, including Gene, a morally complex inmate played by Shia LaBeouf. Also starring Chris Bauer and Dominic Hoffman, the film dives deep into themes of justice, manipulation, and the dangers of surrendering your choices to someone else’s authority.
The trailer paints a haunting picture of a man caught between guilt and guidance, vulnerability and power. With Mamet’s trademark razor-sharp dialogue and morally ambiguous storytelling at the helm, Henry Johnson promises a layered and thought-provoking character study—one that asks: when the lines between right and wrong blur, who gets to draw them?
Backed by a cast that thrives in tension and nuance, and anchored by Mamet’s unmistakable voice, Henry Johnson looks ready to challenge viewers not just emotionally, but philosophically. Mark your calendars — May 9th is looking dark, dramatic, and unmissable.
