Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die Drops Official Trailer and New Poster Ahead of February Release

The future crashes into an L.A. diner in Gore Verbinski’s high-stakes sci-fi thriller.

Briarcliff Entertainment has unveiled the official trailer and a new follow-up poster for Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, the latest genre-bending feature from Gore Verbinski, set for theatrical release on Feb. 13.

The newly released trailer leans hard into tension, dark humor, and sci-fi paranoia, introducing a high-concept survival scenario centered around an iconic Los Angeles diner. When a man claiming to be from the future takes the patrons hostage, what begins as disbelief quickly spirals into a desperate test of trust, morality, and survival. His goal is not ransom or notoriety, but recruitment — assembling an unlikely group he believes is essential to saving the world.

Verbinski, whose filmography has long balanced spectacle with unease, appears to be operating in a more contained, character-driven space here, using the single-location setup to amplify pressure and performance. The trailer teases sharp tonal shifts, escalating stakes, and a story that plays with fate, choice, and the fear of believing the wrong person at the wrong time.

The ensemble cast is a major draw, led by Sam Rockwell alongside Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, Tom Taylor, and Juno Temple. The trailer suggests each character brings their own skepticism, trauma, and motivation into the unfolding crisis, turning the diner into a psychological battleground as much as a physical one.

The newly revealed poster complements the trailer’s energy, reinforcing the film’s mix of urgency and irony, with design choices that emphasize both impending catastrophe and the absurdity of the situation. Together, the trailer and artwork position the film as a high-stakes sci-fi thriller that thrives on ensemble dynamics rather than effects-driven excess.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is written by Matthew Robinson and produced by Verbinski alongside Robert Kulzer, Erwin Stoff, Oly Obst, and Denise Chamian.

The film opens exclusively in theaters Feb. 13.
