First Trailer: “Primate”

Paramount Pictures

Paramount Pictures has released the first trailer for the horror thriller “Primate” which is set to release on January 9th.

Sounding like a chimp-version of”Cujo” and set around a pool party, the movie sees Lucy returning home from college and reuniting with family, including pet chimp Ben.

Ben contracts rabies during a pool party and turns aggressive. Lucy and friends barricade in pool, devising ways to survive the vicious chimp.

The film stars Johnny Sequoyah, Jessica Alexander, Troy Kotsur, Victoria Wyant, Gia Hunter, Benjamin Cheng, Charlie Mann, and Tienne Simon.

The film is directed by Johannes Roberts (“47 Meters Down”), from a script written by Roberts and Ernest Riera. Walter Hamada, John Hodges, and Bradley Pilz all produce.
