‘Pretty Lethal’ Trailer: Uma Thurman Goes Full Villain as Ballerinas Fight for Their Lives in Bloody Thriller

  • On March 13, 2026, Pretty Lethal will premiere at SXSW and arrive on Prime Video on March 25, starring Uma Thurman as Devora Kasimer, a former ballerina running a roadside inn in Budapest.
  • Drawn by its blend of tones, the creative team accepted the project because Vicky Jewson and Kate Freund were attracted to the script's dance elements and genre, prompting Thurman's quick yes.
  • During prep, the cast completed about two months of training and a Budapest 'ballet boot camp', with Royal Opera House ballerinas as dance doubles and Will Tuckett choreographing fight moves.
  • Early promotional material emphasizes the dancers' centrality and stunt choreography, spotlighting the main ensemble of dancers and stunt choreography to attract viewers on Prime Video.
  • Several cast members said they'd return, with Uma Thurman stating `Fuck yeah`, leaving open questions that could lead to a sequel, amid striking imagery of bloody tutus and rain-drenched costumes.
