Nicholas Hoult is a deranged A&R exec in the new trailer for Kill Your Friends, the movie adaptation of John Niven's cult novel about the '90s music industry.
Hoult stars alongside a range of stars - including Rosanna Arquette, James Corden, Tom Riley, and Craig Roberts - as Steven Stelfox, an unhappy agent for a record label. The book's drawn comparisons to Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho, but Niven's book takes on the superficiality and money-hungry nature of the record industry at the height of the Britpop frenzy.
Kill Your Friends is out 6 November.
Watch the trailer below.
