Lionsgate has revealed the first official trailer for its upcoming thriller-drama film, Miller's Girl. Fronted by Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, Miller's Girl follows the story of a rebellious student and aspiring writer fostering a passionate relationship with her teacher, becoming his protégé in more ways than one.

Ortega plays the role of Cairo Sweet, who meets a young teacher at summer's end, portrayed by English actor Martin Freeman. The literary professor assigns Sweet a detailed assignment, tasking her to write a short story voiced by her favorite author. While they work together to complete the project, the teacher and student are entangled in a complicated relationship spearheaded by an inappropriate essay that envisions an intimate storyline between them.

Sweet's disobedient attitude puts her on complicated paths, looking to convince extended faculty of their wrongdoings that could land them both in trouble.

Watch the trailer for Miller's Girl above. The film will arrive in theatres on January 26, 2024.

Hong Kong Mafia (triad) member breaks down 12 HK Mafia scenes in movies and TV
Jimmy Tsui, a former member of the Sun Yee On triad in Hong Kong and Tung On in New York City's Chinatown, breaks down 12 Chinese organized-crime scenes in movies and TV shows based on realism. Tsui breaks down the accuracy of triad activities in Hong Kong and the United States, such as the money-laundering scenes in "Rush Hour 2," with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker; "A Better Tomorrow," with Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung; the human smuggling ring in "Lethal Weapon 4," with Jet Li, Mel Gibson, and Danny Glover; and the connection of triads with the nightclub and movie industries in Hong Kong in "Young and Dangerous 3." He explains the realism of triads dealing with law enforcement and other international criminal organizations, such as the Irish Mob in "The Departed," with Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Jack Nicholson; the tensions between the yakuza and the San Francisco triad in "War," with Jason Statham; the relationship between the Hong Kong police and the triads in "Infernal Affairs," starring Tony Leung and Andy Lau; and the interaction with motorcycle clubs in "Sons of Anarchy" S6E10. Tsui also looks at scenes in New York City's Chinatown, such as the rivalry between two Tong associations in "The Corruptor," with Mark Wahlberg and Chow Yun-fat; and the gambling-house scene in "Year of the Dragon." Tsui also explains the rituals and hierarchy of the triads, such as the initiation-ceremony scene in "Election" (2005) and the voting scene in "The Brothers Sun" E7, starring Michelle Yeoh. Tsui was involved with the Sun Yee On triad and Tung On in New York City's Chinatown for over 10 years. In 1985 in New York, he was arrested and charged with robbery and homicide with a $1.5 million bail. The case was dismissed and resulted in his transition into Sun Yee On in 1988. He was involved in karaoke bars, gambling houses, and various scams. After leaving the triads, Tsui got involved with Chinatown Gang Stories, a YouTube channel organized by Mike Moy, a former gang member and New York City Police Department officer.
