Sasquatch Sunset Trailer: See Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg Transform Into a Bigfoot Family

'Sasquatch Sunset' is in select theaters April 12, then nationwide on April 19

Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough transformed into Bigfoots for their new film.

On Tuesday, Bleecker Street unveiled the first trailer for Sasquatch Sunset, which stars Eisenberg, 40, and Keough, 34, as two members of a family of sasquatches living in North America.

The trailer shows both actors in full costume as the mythological creatures, traveling across the country and wilderness. No character speaks throughout the trailer. Instead, they are shown having sex, interacting with other animals in the wild, foraging for food in the forest and hitting trees with slabs of wood together.

"In the misty forests of North America, a family of Sasquatches — possibly the last of their enigmatic kind — embark on an absurdist, epic, hilarious and ultimately poignant journey over the course of one year," reads a synopsis.

"These shaggy and noble giants fight for survival as they find themselves on a collision course with the ever-changing world around them."
