Eden is a psychological survival thriller from Oscar-winning director Ron Howard starring Sydney Sweeney, Ana de Armas, and Vanessa Kirby. Eden divided critics when it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2024; it is about a group of people who travel to an uninhabited Galápagos island in the early 20th century, hoping to live a peaceful, utopian lifestyle. However, while the initial couple who undertake this journey find contentment, their new life is disrupted by additional arrivals with their own ambitions, and the whole thing quickly spirals into chaos.
A new teaser trailer for Eden has been unveiled by Vertical Entertainment, ahead of its release in the United States on Aug. 22, 2025. Eden also stars Jude Law, Daniel Brühl, Felix Kammerer, Toby Wallace, and Richard Roxburgh. Watch the full teaser trailer below:
What The New Teaser Trailer Means For Eden
Eden Is Gearing Up For Its Wide Release With Promises Of Nail-Biting Tension
Eden is meant to be a discourse on human nature — how successful it is at this is debatable, given critics’ opposing reactions. However, Eden has been a mostly exclusive experience up until now and may find the audience it is looking for in the general public. Eden was released in movie theaters in Germany in April 2025, but isn’t becoming available to most audiences in the United States, as well as some other countries, until August. Something as crazy as Eden apparently is with fascinatingly strange performances from various A-listers is bound to be entertaining, if not top-tier cinema.
Violence erupts when Eloise’s plans in particular ruin the life that Friedrich and Dora have built for themselves — if that was ever a true ideal.
The new trailer teases the conflict that arises when Jude Law’s Dr. Friedrich Ritter unintentionally inspires others to join him and his wife on the island, as too many people are arguably contradictory to the whole point. We also see bits of the decadence of Ana de Armas’ character, Baroness Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn, even when far away from all the luxuries she is clearly accustomed to. Violence erupts when Eloise’s plans in particular ruin the life that Friedrich and Dora (Vanessa Kirby) have built for themselves — if that was ever a true ideal.
Our Take On Eden’s New Teaser Trailer
I’m Ready To Watch Ana de Armas Play This Uniquely Destructive Role
In ScreenRant‘s Eden review, Mae Abdulbaki says: “Eden gives us an unhinged Ana de Armas, and for that I am forever grateful. The actress is delectably vicious and simultaneously alluring. It’s easy to hate her, and boy does Eden make us hate her.” Eden is a movie that thrives on unlikeable characters and the sheer madness of the situation, which is “dark, chaotic fun.” Interestingly, Eden is based on a true story, lending some credibility to the supposed moral of the whole thing.

From the Untitled Christy Martin movie to Barbarella, a list of the six upcoming films and tv shows with emerging star Sydney Sweeney explained.
Otherwise, we could write the movie off as having nothing to teach us because it’s just too wild to be true. I am only enjoying seeing every new challenging role de Armas takes on, and this one sounds to be the most intriguing yet. Vanessa Kirby and Sydney Sweeney are also, of course, brilliant rising stars. It’s rare that we get a movie that is just so perfectly unhinged that we can adore it no matter what its actual quality is, which is reason enough to see Eden, but hopefully, some viewers will find something more in it.
