Louis Leterrier’s Sci-Fi Thriller ‘Last House’ Prompts Greta Lee and Wagner Moura to Describe Time Spent “Trapped” at Home in Trailer

Netflix released a trailer for “Last House,” a new sci-fi thriller directed by Louis Leterrier, spotlighting stars Greta Lee and Wagner Moura in a premise that centers on a prolonged period of confinement inside a home setting. The trailer promotional material, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter, frames both the story and the production as involving years of being “trapped at home,” tying the characters’ situation to the actors’ description of how they prepared for the role.

Leterrier, known for large-scale action and franchise filmmaking, is directing “Last House” for Netflix, positioning the film for release later this summer. The Hollywood Reporter report focuses on the way the trailer’s narrative setup depends on time passing, with Lee and Moura appearing across the span of the story’s confinement scenario.

The report also describes how Lee and Moura spent extended periods in a trailer during production, echoing the film’s central idea of staying inside the same home environment. While the article’s emphasis is on the experiential approach to performance, it is presented in the context of bringing the endurance aspect of the characters’ situation to the screen rather than as a standalone production detail.

In “Last House,” the confined home setting functions as more than a backdrop, serving as the main stage for character survival and psychological pressure as years pass. According to The Hollywood Reporter, that long-form time element is one reason the trailer is framed around the actors’ extended stay and the film’s sustained, enclosed conditions.

For Netflix, “Last House” represents another entry in its expanding slate of genre titles, with the streamer marketing the movie through trailer-driven messaging that highlights the endurance, claustrophobic tension, and sci-fi stakes associated with being cut off inside a home. The Hollywood Reporter report ties the trailer’s framing directly to the film’s lead performances and the director’s approach to building a narrative that stretches over time.

For audiences, the trailer’s description indicates a film experience built around continuity of character life in one location, with the central selling point being the tension created by years of restricted movement and information. The release timing “this summer,” as stated in the report, means marketing attention is likely to increase as Netflix finalizes rollout details for a broad streaming audience.
