Today, we’re please to debut a poster for Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman’s new thriller, Nerve. Emma Roberts plays Vee, a high school senior who hasn’t been “living life,” so she does what anyone who’s having a late-teen life crisis might do: participate in a series of intense competition of dares for the watchers on the Web. While it starts out all fun and games — and she even becomes mildly Internet famous through her partnership with Dave Franco’s character — she soon becomes the victim of identity theft by the game-makers.
Nerve has a cool premise, and Joost and Schulman, who previously directed the hit documentary Catfish, definitely understand manipulation and Internet culture. While it’s definitely a crowded summer season, I can easily see Nerve becoming a sleeper hit, especially with the younger crowd who are enveloped with online relationships.
Check out the Nerve poster below. The film opens July 27th and also stars Juliette Lewis.
