Alicia Vikander Is Haunted by Her Missing Best Friend in ‘Earthquake Bird’ Trailer (Video)
In the trailer for her new film “Earthquake Bird,” Alicia Vikander is being questioned as one of the top subjects in the disappearance of a missing woman and one of her best friends.
And Vikander stands out in the crowd as a suspect because she’s an expat living in Tokyo in 1989, where just the act of walking around is enough for Japanese residents to stare or take your photo.
“It’s weird how everyone stares at you. It’s like being famous,” Vikander’s friend played by Riley Keough says in the trailer.

That’s the premise of “Earthquake Bird,” which is a psychological thriller directed by Wash Westmoreland (“Colette,” “Still Alice”) and is produced by Ridley Scott and plays on the fish-out-of-water cultural differences of the late 1980s.
In “Earthquake Bird,” Vikander plays Lucy, an enigmatic expat haunted by a painful past, who enters into an intense relationship with Teiji (Naoki Kobayashi), a handsome local photographer. Lucy’s imperturbable exterior begins to crack when a naive newcomer, Lily Bridges (Keough), becomes entangled in their lives and ends up missing and suspected dead.
Westmoreland wrote and directed the film based on the 2001 novel by Susanna Jones. “Earthquake Bird” will air on Netflix on Nov. 15 following a brief theatrical stint that begins on Nov. 1. Watch the first trailer for the film above.

A random film quote : "I've been on a diet every day since I was nineteen, which basically means I've been hungry for a decade. I've had a series of not-nice boyfriends, one of whom hit me. Ah, and every time I get my heart broken, the newspapers splash it about as though it's entertainment. And it's taken two rather painful operations to get me looking like this.... Really. And, one day not long from now, my looks will go, they will discover I can't act and I will become some sad middle-aged woman who looks a bit like someone who was famous for a while." Notting Hill (1999)
