‘Eden’ Trailer Teases a Ruthless Survival Showdown

The first trailer for Ron Howard's Eden was released on Wednesday (June 25). Jude Law (Dr. Friedrich Ritter) and Vanessa Kirby (Dore Strauch) play a real-life couple who leave behind their ordinary life in Berlin to settle on a remote island in Ecuador in 1929. The couple hopes to make a fresh start there amid financial troubles back in Germany. As time passes, more people join them on the island, including Heinz Wittmer (played by Daniel Brühl) and his wife Margaret (Sydney Sweeney), and Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn (played by Ana de Armas), who is joined by her two lovers, Tobby Wallace and Felix Kammerer.

However, the arrival of later groups on the island sparks trouble for everyone, including themselves. A brutal struggle for survival begins, and soon, everyone trapped on the isolated island realises that their biggest threat might be each other. Taking down the other settlers becomes the only way to ensure their own survival. The trailer ends with action-packed and sensual scenes, promising an edge-of-the-seat experience for fans.
