Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman recreate the student-teacher trope in the new trailer for 'Miller's Girl'

Jenna Ortega jumps into the role of teenage seductress alongside actor Martin Freeman in the new psychological thriller 'Miller's Girl'.

As reported by Yahoo and NME after the trailer release, the 'Wednesday' star plays 18-year-old Cairo, a talented student in Tennessee who becomes entangled with her teacher, Freeman’s Mr. Miller, after he assigns her an assignment which complicates their relationship.

Mr. Miller remains in the dark and unaware that his young protégé has an agenda of her own.

The plot thickens after Cairo taunts her teacher into a game of truth or dare and a more sinister scheme of blackmailing ensues.

'Miller's Girl''s official synopsis reads: “A talented young writer (Ortega) embarks on a creative odyssey when her teacher (Freeman) assigns a project that entangles them both in an increasingly complex web. As lines blur and their lives intertwine, professor and protégé must confront their darkest selves while straining to preserve their individual sense of purpose and the things they hold most dear.”

Jade Halley Bartlett writes and directs the picture, and is produced by longtime partners Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.

The film will also star Succession’s Dagmara Domińczyk, alongside Bashir Salahuddin and Gideon Adlon.

It is set to release in US cinemas on January 26, following a premiere at Palm Springs Film Festival on January 11.
