The tagline reads ‘Revenge gets ripped’.
A romantic thriller starring Kristen Stewart is coming to our screens courtesy of Rose Glass, the writer-director and twisted mind behind Saint Maud.
And now A24 has released a poster for Love Bleeding Lies as well as teasing the release of the first trailer later today (19th December).
The movie stars Stewart in the role of a reclusive gym manager named Lou, who falls for bodybuilder Jackie (played by Black Lightning’s Katy O’Brian). However, “their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family”, the official plot synopsis teases.

Love Lies Bleeding cast
The following cast members have been confirmed for Love Lies Bleeding.
- Kristen Stewart as Lou
- Katy O’Brian as Jackie
- Jena Malone as TBC
- Ed Harris as TBC
- Dave Franco as TBC
- Anna Baryshnikov as TBC
Kristen Stewart and Katy O’Brian (Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, The Mandalorian) will lead the cast of the movie as Lou and Jackie, respectively.
Stewart has previously dabbled in horror with projects such as Personal Shopper, Underwater, Lizzie and, in what marked her darkest role so far, David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future (2022).
Talking about the dystopian body horror film, in which she played Timlin, a young woman who is fascinated and aroused by Saul Tenser’s body art, Stewart told Insider after the premiere: “Everyone loves to talk about how his (Cronenberg’s) movies are difficult to watch and it’s fun to talk about people walking out of Cannes screenings.”
She continued: “Every single gaping, weird bruise in his movies, it makes my mouth open. You wanna lean in toward it. And it never repulses me ever. The way I feel, it is through really visceral desire and that’s the only reason we’re alive. We’re pleasure sacks.”
The cast of Love Lies Bleeding is rounded out by Jena Malone (The Hunger Games), Ed Harris (Westworld), Dave Franco (The Disaster Artist) and Anna Baryshnikov (Dickinson).
Behind the camera, Glass directed from a script she co-wrote with Weronika Tofilska.
