Ben Affleck's Netflix Thriller Animals Gets Tense New Kidnap Trailer
A new trailer for Ben Affleck's Netflix thriller Animals is out, and it promises a dark twist on a kidnapping plot. According to JoBlo, the clip reveals that Affleck's character must confront his own dark secrets to save his kidnapped child, turning the typical ransom narrative on its head.
The film was originally set to be a collaboration between Affleck and Matt Damon, with Affleck directing. However, per JoBlo, Affleck scrapped the entire project just two weeks before filming was scheduled to begin.
The outlet reports that the decision to halt production was driven by Affleck's dissatisfaction with the script. He felt the story wasn't working and chose to pull the plug rather than move forward with a flawed project.
Netflix later revived Animals with a new director, but the core cast, including Affleck, remained attached. The new trailer suggests the film has retained its high-stakes, personal thriller premise centered on a father's desperate mission.
