The official trailer for Freaky Tales, starring Pedro Pascal and the late Angus Cloud, was released by Lionsgate on Tuesday.
In the action-packed teaser, Pascal gets tangled up in a web of crime as he takes on dangerous enemies and tries to escape his past.
The 49-year-old actor portrays Clint, a retired criminal who gets roped into a heist to steal ancient artifacts from an NBA player’s house.
However, that’s when he gets mixed up with other offbeat, idiosyncratic characters in the story, which is split into four chapters.
In the film, Pascal stars opposite Ben Mendelsohn, Jay Ellis, Normani, Tom Hanks and many more.
The movie trailer also features the late Euphoria actor in his final film role before his tragic death.
Cloud filmed the movie in his hometown before he pᴀssed away at the age of 25 in July 2023.

The anthology action-comedy, co-directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, is set in Oakland, California in 1987 and follows four interconnected stories.
A synopsis for the film describes it as ‘a multi-track mixtape of colorful characters — an NBA star, a corrupt cop, a female rap duo, teen punks, neo-Nazis, and a debt collector — on a collision course in a fever dream of showdowns and battles.’
The trailer begins with ’90s-inspired text flashing across the screen to set the scene.
Pascal kicks off the bloody, action-packed trailer by narrating over a montage of clips introducing the setting of the anthology.
‘The underdog thinks he can do the impossible: to feed the bully, sell enough mixtapes to get out of the hood,’ he says over a scene of a motorcyclist zooming down a windy mountain road as the sun sets on the California city.
Flashbacks of all four interwoven stories play as Clint narrates.
‘I can say with certainty, this underdog has seen his last day,’ he adds.
In addition to Pascal as Clint, Normani is also a main character in the mixtape of stories and stars as an aspiring singer with an aptly chosen moniker: Entice.

After the montage of flashbacks, Clint is seen in his car, leaning over to kiss his lover in the pᴀssenger seat and reaching his hand on her belly to caress her baby bump.
As he sits back in his seat, with a cheery grin still on his face, he does not yet notice that there is a man holding up a gun to his head outside of the car window.
‘The tales freaky as hell,’ reads text that flashes across the screen as the narrator changes from Clint to another main character.

‘We got one more job for you,’ Dawson tells a frustated-looking Clint, who looks at an envelope he gave him.
‘Sleepy Floyd. Warriors point guard. His house is going to be empty on game night,’ he tells Clint about their heist plan. ‘He’s got a vault full of ancient Asian artifacts.’
Then, Clint tells him: ‘Yesterday was the last job.’
He is seen entering a gambling den and approaching a man sitting down to collect his debts.
