Pet Shop Days Trailer Released Ahead of March Theatrical Debut

Utopia has released a trailer for 'Pet Shop Days,' the feature directorial debut of Olmo Schnabel, set to hit theaters in March 2025. The film follows Alejandro, an impulsive black sheep fleeing his home in Mexico, who finds love with Jack, a pet store employee in New York City. Their whirlwind romance leads them into the seedy underworld of Manhattan, where they confront drugs and depravity, ultimately forcing Jack to choose between family loyalty and a life on the run. The film, which premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival and has played at several festivals since, features a cast that includes Willem Dafoe and Peter Sarsgaard. Executive produced by industry heavyweights like Martin Scorsese, the film promises a gritty exploration of love and desperation. 'Pet Shop Days' is co-written by Jack Irv, Galen Core, and Schnabel himself.
