Finally opening in limited theaters next March. Neon has finally revealed their own official US trailer for the film Alpha, the third feature film directed by French filmmaker Julia Ducournau after making Raw and Titane. It premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival but ended up with mostly bad reviews – Neon pushed it back to March next year since it's not a major release anymore. Something seemingly innocuous sends a teenager's world into turmoil. Filmed in the Northern France city of Le Havre, Alpha is a troubled teenager who lives alone with her mother. Their world comes crashing down the day she comes home from school with a tattoo on her arm, leading her Maman to believe she has contracted a new disease going around. The film is based on Ducournau's upbringing during the AIDS/HIV crisis in the 1980s. Starring Mélissa Boros as the young Alpha, Tahar Rahim as Amin, Alpha's junkie uncle, Golshifteh Farahani as her mother, Emma Mackey, Finnegan Oldfield, Louai El Amrousy, and others.
