Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for Richard Linklater’s “Hit Man” ahead of the film’s Spotlight Premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on Monday night.

Linklater brings his trademark flair for blending genres to his latest film “Hit Man,” a crime comedy romance inspired by a real-life fake hitman. The film stars Glen Powell (“Top Gun: Maverick”) and marks Powell’s first time serving as producer through his company B for Effort Productions as well as co-writer alongside Linklater.

The film is adapted from a Texas Monthly article by Skip Hollandsworth which profiled Gary Johnson, a man convicted in the late 1990s of posing as a hitman-for-hire despite never actually committing murder.
