Anne Hathaway & Chiwetel Ejiofor Steal A Diamond in 'Locked Down' Trailer

Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor are a couple on a mission in the brand new trailer for Locked Down.

The flick centers on Linda and Paxton, played by Anne and Chiwetel, who who decide to break up only to find themselves stuck with each other during a mandatory lockdown.

While living together proves a challenge, the two come up with a scheme to steal a priceless diamond from the U.K.’s luxury department store, Harrods, to ease their financial concerns.

“The sheer act of making it, of doing something so collaborative and audacious made us all very focused and open — and strangely free,” Anne shared about filming the movie during lockdown in London. “Like the odds were so against us any way that it made me want to lean into the exhilaration and take risks with my performance.”

She added, “It was scary taking my mask off every day, and so I really appreciated how committed the crew was to keeping their masks on — even when we were shooting in hot rooms and they were carrying heavy camera and lighting equipment they were always, always masked. Their professionalism helped keep me safe, and I was and am incredibly grateful to them.”

Locked Down will premiere on January 14 on HBO Max.
