THE TRAILER FOR Barry Keoghan’s much-anticipated summer movie, American Animals, has finally dropped.

Keoghan plays a college student in the buzzy heist flick, which proved a hit at the Sundance festival back in January.

It’s based on the true story of a group of students who plan a valuable book and art heist. The story was the subject of a large Vanity Fair article, and took place in Lexington, Kentucky, back in 2004.

Evan Peters of American Horror Story fame also stars alongside Blake Jenner and Jared Abrahamson as the gang.

As for Barry’s American accent, we’re happy to say that it’s fine.

I really dug American Animals, which has one of the best-constructed recent action sequences and an astute take on white male affluenza bullshit. A showcase for 2 of the best youngish actors, Evan Peters and Barry Keoghan. #IFFBoston2018
