First Trailer for 'The Deb' - Rebel Wilson's Aussie Popular Girl Musical

"It's about getting to feel special..." Rialto Distr. has revealed the first official trailer for a movie called The Deb, a big musical comedy which is alos the directorial debut of Australian actress Rebel Wilson. This looks a bit like a mix between Mean Girls and Pitch Perfect – another high school musical about being popular and beautiful and all that. This first premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival and it's just now getting released this summer in Australia in January 2026 – the delay is because it has been caught up in numerous lawsuits alleging Wilson is a "bully". From TIFF: Rebel Wilson's directorial debut is a bold, outrageous, and funny Australian musical about two very different teenage cousins who initially clash then eventually join forces to make their mark on their town's annual debutante ball. Taylah dreams of being invited & Maeve rails against "heteronormative BS" – the two clash, crash, but ultimately thrive. Starring Natalie Abbott as Taylah, with Charlotte MacInnes, Stevie Jean, Shane Jacobson, Tara Morice, Julian McMahon, Hal Cumpston, and Rebel Wilson. Plus a huge cast of dancers & students, and many others. Take a look. // Continue Reading ›
