Jacob Elordi starred in the trailer for the upcoming thriller movie He Went That Way, which was released on Thursday.
In the clip, the 26-year-old performer starred as a serial killer telling the story of the one man, played by Zachary Quinto, whom he let live during his crime spree.
The movie’s star — who recently bonded with his Euphoria costar Colman Domingo — was also joined by performers such as Patrick J. Adams and Troy Evans in the upcoming feature.
The trailer begins with Bobby Falls (Elordi) being arrested by a group of police officers before admitting to killing five men. He tells the cops to ‘ask me about the one I let live.’
In a flashback, Falls is picked up by Jim Goodwin (Quinto) while hitchhiking through the desert, and he ominously states that there is ‘plenty of room out here to do some damage.’

The pair then pulls over and Goodwin introduces his trained chimpanzee, Spanky, of whom Falls is a major fan, and the former states that their careers are currently in decline.
Although Elordi’s character robs Goodwin after they stop at a motel, he insists that he is ‘not a bad person, not at my core.’
Falls later reconnects with Quinto’s character, who proposes a deal in which the former will leave him alone if they get to Chicago without incident.
Goodwin then attempts to lift Falls to turn away from a life of crime and tells him: ‘If I can teach a chimpanzee to play piano, you can do whatever you want.’
Although the two attempt to make it to Chicago, Elordi’s character quickly resumes his crime spree and gags Quinto after stealing his car.
The trailer ends with Falls asking an unseen character: ‘So we’re going to be straight with each other from now?’
Development on He Went That Way was announced in 2021, when the feature’s stars were first attached to the project.
The movie is based on Conrad Hilberry’s nonfiction novel Luke Karamazov, which is based on the crime sprees committed by brothers Larry and Danny Ranes.
