Warner Bros. has released the first teaser for The End of Oak Street, a sci-fi film that was previously known as Flowervale Street. The footage puts Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor at the center of a suburban mystery that quickly turns into a dinosaur chase.
The teaser gives viewers only a small glimpse of the story, but it makes the premise clear fast. Hathaway and McGregor play parents whose young son, portrayed by Christian Convery, senses that something is wrong before the family’s street begins to break away from its surroundings.
A suburban nightmare takes shape
The teaser opens with a tense exchange inside the family home. When the child asks, “Mom? What’s happening to us?”, Hathaway’s character answers, “I think our house, our neighborhood, our whole street has moved.”
That line sets up the film’s central twist, which appears to send the family into a dislocated version of their own neighborhood. An overhead shot then shows the street separating from its original setting, and the visuals suggest that the environment may have shifted into another time or place.
From there, the teaser turns sharply into survival mode. Hathaway, McGregor, and Convery are shown running through what remains of the neighborhood as dinosaurs appear and pursue them.
What is known about the film
The project comes from It Follows director David Robert Mitchell, who wrote and directed the film from an original script. J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot is producing the title, along with Mitchell, Hannah Minghella, Matt Jackson of Jackson Pictures, and Tommy Harper.
The cast also includes Maisy Stella, adding to a lineup that mixes veteran stars with younger talent. Warner Bros. has kept the plot details limited, but the teaser suggests a blend of sci-fi, suspense, and creature-driven action.
