First Trailer Drops for Samara Weaving’s New Heist Thriller ‘Eenie Meanie’
Hulu has released the first trailer and a poster for Eenie Meanie, a new heist thriller starring Samara Weaving.
The film is written and directed by Shawn Simmons, best known for creating Wayne, and marks his debut as a feature film director. It will hit Hulu on August 22, 2025.
The movie follows Edie, a former teenage getaway driver who’s tried to leave her criminal past behind. But when a former boss offers her a dangerous job that could save the life of her unreliable ex-boyfriend, she’s forced back into the world she thought she’d escaped.
Weaving leads a stacked cast that includes Karl Glusman, Jermaine Fowler, Marshawn Lynch, Randall Park, Steve Zahn, and Andy Garcia. Elle Graham plays a younger version of Edie.
Production on Eenie Meanie began in April 2024 in Cleveland, Ohio, under the working title Stickshift. Filming also took place in Lakewood and Toledo, with the Hollywood Casino serving as one of the locations. Shooting wrapped in late June 2024.
The project has been in the works since 2021, when 20th Century Studios picked up Simmons’ untitled thriller script. The official title and cast were confirmed in 2023, with Weaving attached from the start.
With the mix of high-speed chases, tense showdowns, and Weaving’s sharp lead performance teased in the trailer, Eenie Meanie is shaping up to be one of next summer’s standout action thrillers.
