Is there a trailer for MaXXXine?

MaXXXine's trailer was released on April 8, 2024. In the trailer, Maxine, the protagonist is shown auditioning for a movie role in Hollywood, which could change her life forever and help her switch from adult films to mainstream commercial movies.

However, a serial killer, who is infamous for his killings and goes by the name Night Stalker, enters her life and haunts her. We see the Night Stalker killing many people, presumably Hollywood stars, and Maxine could be his next target. The film is set in the 1980s and has a nostalgic setting.

Even with all that is going around Maxine, we see her as a passionate woman, who works hard to make her debut a success. She seems brave in the trailer, and even though she is scared by the recent news of the Night Stalker and his killings, she does not let that interfere with her professional life.
