‘When The Bough Breaks’ Trailer: Morris Chestnut Fights To Get His Baby Back

Watch the When the Bough Breaks trailer below.
The trailer for Jon Cassar’s film is fairly run-of-the-mill. Cassar has primarily worked in television, having directed episodes for 24, Nikita, Fringe, and more. The director’s last feature film, Forsaken, was a Western starring Kiefer and Donald Sutherland. Cassar is taking on very different material with When the Bough Breaks, which has a slight The Hand That Rocks the Cradle vibe to it. Actually, scratch that, because the movie actually looks quite a bit like Curtis Hanson’s darkly fun ’90s thriller.
Here’s the When the Bough Breaks trailer (source: EW):
Chestnut, even if a piece of material doesn’t match his talents, is someone you can almost always rely on to do good work. While watching this trailer, as campy as it is at times, it’s obvious Chestnut is committed to the role. He’s taking it as seriously as possible. Talent aside, the actor also has a respectable commercial track record, so nobody should call When the Bough Breaks a “surprise hit” when it most likely does impressive business at the box office later this year.
Here’s the official synopsis:
When the Bough Breaks opens in theaters September 16th.
John and Laura Taylor (Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall) are a young, professional couple who desperately want a baby. After exhausting all other options, they finally hire Anna (Jaz Sinclair), the perfect woman to be their surrogate – but as she gets further along in her pregnancy, so too does her psychotic and dangerous fixation on the husband. The couple becomes caught up in Anna’s deadly game and must fight to regain control of their future before it’s too late.
