Things look cheery for the pair as they stand gazing at each other and then Elodie and his mother are introduced.<\/p>\n<p>But things soon take a turn for the worse when Elodie\u2019s step-mother Lady Bayford (Angela Bassett) tells Elodie that she doesn\u2019t trust the royal family Elodie is about to marry into. And it turns out her feelings are right, as after marrying Elodie, Prince Henry throws her off a bridge and into a deep, dark cave with a fire-breathing dragon.<\/p>\n<p>With nobody around to help her or hear her calls, Elodie is left to find (and fight) her way out of the cave, as we see she wastes no time in fashioning makeshift weapons and a system to try and scale the expansive walls of the cave. Will she succeed?<\/p>\n<p>Watch the trailer for yourself below:<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"Damsel | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iM150ZWovZM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>The new film has Brown leading the cast as Elodie, with the actress obviously best known for her roles in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/stranger-things-season-5-release-date\/\">Stranger Things<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/programme\/b-6i7hz4\/enola-holmes\/\">Enola Holmes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Brown, the star-studded cast also includes Angela Bassett (Black Panther), Ray Winstone, Nick Robinson (Maid), Brooke Carter (The Peripheral) and Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/olivia-colman-gender-pay-gap-movies-newsupdate\/\">Olivia Colman speaks out on gender pay gap in movies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/david-tennant-make-it-hollywood-newsupdate\/\">David Tennant recalls trying to \u2018make it\u2019 in Hollywood and \u2018never hearing from them again\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The movie comes from Oscar-winning filmmaker Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, known for films such as 28 Weeks Later and Esposados.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about Damsel, Fresnadillo told Netflix\u2019s Tudum: \u201cIt\u2019s a thrilling adventure with a really dark twist to put you on the edge of your seat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a filmmaker, one of the things I always want to do is surprise the audience with a new take on a story. Especially this kind of [traditional story] \u2014 we have to modernize those tales with new takes, more modern and real ways, to connect with the audience.\u201d<\/p> <p>Speaking about the script, he added: \u201cWhat I really loved in the script from Dan Mazeau was embracing the idea of a fantasy adventure and a princess and dragon story, but taking it into a place [where] it\u2019s completely upside down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very intense journey that I was so excited to design and to develop. At the core, this is such a beautiful story about a young woman becoming a strong, independent, and empowered adult. Elodie doesn\u2019t have any kind of support. It\u2019s a real survival experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"393877e033a4f68d4fd30812a1bd71957ecd1b9a\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"393877e033a4f68d4fd30812a1bd71957ecd1b9a\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Damsel premieres on Netflix on Friday 8th March.
