Long Weekend's first trailer has been released, with its leading stars being American Horror Story's Finn Wittrock and The OA's Zoë Chao.

The movie is based around Bart (played by Wittrock), Vienna (played by Chao) and their chance encounter. After they meet, the pair end up spending a whirlwind weekend with one another. Long Weekend sees the couple fall in love quickly and deeply, but as they both carry secrets, Bart and Vienna are forced to confront what they're hiding in order to move forward and have a fresh start.

Long Weekend is expected to arrive in US cinemas from March 12, while there is still no confirmed release date for the UK.
