Here’s the trailer for an upcoming dark comedy film titled The Prank, which stars Rita Moreno (West Side Story) as a physics teacher named Mrs. Wheeler, who is described as “the teacher of your nightmares.”
In the film, Ben and his slacker friend Tanner decide to play a messed up prank on their teacher after she fails the entire class because someone cheated on a test.
In the film, “Ben (Connor Kalopsis) has a stern, mean and cruel physics teacher, Mrs. Wheeler (Moreno). She has been teaching at the school for decades and has a reputation for being the hardest, coldest, strictest faculty member.
“She fails Ben’s entire class unless a student who cheated comes forward. But when no one does, Tanner and Ben hatch a plan to ruin her life and frame her for murder on social media.”
As you might imagine this whole plan starts to spin wildly out of control as the story plays out.
The film was directed by Maureen Bharoocha, and it also stars Connor Kalopsis, Ramona Young, Keith David, Kate Flannery, Meredith Salenger, Jonathan Kimmel, and Nathan Janak.
The film initially premiered at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival a few years ago. Signature Ent. will debut The Prank on VOD in the UK starting June 24th, 2024.
