Last year, the "John Wick" spin-off "Ballerina" (From the World of John Wick: Ballerina) introduced audiences to the rigorous training of a ballerina turned assassin. This year, Amazon and MGM are poised to deliver another action-packed feature, "Pretty Lethal," which similarly transforms ballet dancers into formidable action stars. The film recently unveiled its first trailer and key art (pictured below) and is set to debut on Amazon Prime Video on March 25.

Official Synopsis: Five ballerinas, whose relationships are already strained, find their bus breaking down in a remote forest while en route to a prestigious dance competition. Stranded, they reluctantly seek refuge at a peculiar roadside motel, run by the reclusive former ballet prodigy, Devora Kasimer.
From the moment they arrive, the dancers sense something is amiss, and their instincts prove correct. As the situation turns perilous, the already contentious troupe must set aside their differences and transform their years of rigorous training into tools for survival, turning grace, discipline, and even their ballet slippers into weapons.
