What starts as a surprise romance turns into a nightmare for one in the trailer for A Family Affair.
In the two-minute look at the upcoming Netflix film, Zac Efron stars as movie star Chris Cole who begins a romance with Nicole Kidman‘s Brooke. However, Kidman just happens to be the widowed mother to Zara (Joey King), Chris’ young assistant who quit working for Chris and hates him.
“I know him very well. He’s self-absorbed and selfish,” King’s Zara says. “He’s going to hurt her, and I will have to kill him.”
Throughout the trailer, Kidman and Efron can be seen growing closer as King’s Zara continues to view it as a “gross sexcapade thing.”
“I love being your mother more than anything in this world. But I’m starting to feel things I never thought I would feel again. Not since your father,” Kidman says. “No! You did not just say that,” King yells in response.
A Family Affair is directed by Richard Lagravenese and written by Carrie Solomon. Kathy Bates and Liza Koshy round out the cast.
The film marks a reunion for Efron and Kidman, who previously starred in the 2012 film The Paperboy together.
