Sophie Turner, beloved for bringing Sansa Stark to life in Game of Thrones, ventures into chilling new territory with the psychological thriller Trust. Collider has secured an exclusive sneak peek at fresh imagery from the film, showcasing Turner as a Hollywood actress whose desperate flight to an isolated cabin becomes anything but sanctuary.
A Story of Betrayal and Survival
At the heart of Trust lies Turner’s character, who finds herself devastated by the treachery of someone she once trusted completely. What begins as an escape to a remote hideaway transforms into a brutal test of endurance where concealment might buy time, but freedom remains frustratingly out of reach. The supporting ensemble brings together Rhys Coiro, Billy Campbell, Peter Mensah, Forrest Goodluck, Gianni Paolo, Renata Vaca, and Katey Sagal. Clocking in at roughly 90 minutes, the film earns its R rating through unflinching portrayals of violence, explicit language, mature themes, and substance abuse.
The Minds Crafting the Terror
Gigi Levangie crafts the screenplay for Trust, marking her return to feature writing after more than a decade—her last credit being 2010’s We Are Family, following her earlier success with the 1998 tearjerker Stepmom. Taking the director’s chair is Carlson Young, who burst onto the scene with her atmospheric horror debut The Blazing World in 2021. Young has since expanded her repertoire with the romantic comedy Upgraded while maintaining her acting presence in projects like Emily in Paris and the Scream television adaptation. The production team features Miles Koules, Ketura Kestin, and Oren Koules as producers, with Republic Pictures—operating under the Paramount umbrella—handling distribution duties.
Turner’s Evolution Beyond Westeros
While her transformation from naive Northern girl to shrewd political player as Sansa Stark remains her most recognized work, Sophie Turner has been steadily diversifying her portfolio. She wielded mutant powers as Jean Grey in both X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) and Dark Phoenix (2019), and anticipation builds for her upcoming turn as Lara Croft in the reimagined Tomb Raider series, shepherded by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Her co-star Billy Campbell brings horror credentials from the recent I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot, while Peter Mensah’s impressive resume spans from the blood-soaked battlefields of 300 to the alien landscapes of Avatar.
Coming to Theaters This Summer
Trust arrives in theaters on August 22, 2025. This exclusive preview image captures Turner’s character in what appears to be a moment of sheer desperation, hinting at the psychological intensity audiences can expect.
