Australian actor Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus) is Plutonovich, the sci-fi super tyrant taking over the world in new high-concept rock film O’Dessa.
In the trailer for O’Dessa, released this morning, Stranger Things‘ Sadie Sink sings her way to freedom through a post-apocalyptic world, finding love and fighting evil (namely Bartlett’s aforementioned entertainment mogul Plutonovich) along the way.
‘There was this moment where I was just like, “Oh my God. I can’t believe I said yes to this. Fuck. What am I doing?!”‘ Sink told Variety about O’Dessa earlier this year.
The film is described as an original rock opera about a farm girl on an epic quest to recover a cherished family heirloom. Her journey leads her to a strange and dangerous city where she meets her one true love – but in order to save his soul, she must put the power of destiny and song to the ultimate test.
Disney+ has announced that Searchlight Pictures’ O’Dessa, written and directed by Geremy Jasper, will be available to stream exclusively on Disney+ on 13 March 2025.
