The Wonder Wheel trailer has Kate Winslet as a 1950s Coney Island wife stuck in a bad marriage who finds herself targeted by mobsters.

This year’s annual Woody Allen movie is an Amazon exclusive.  Wonder Wheel showcases an intriguing mix of personnel, fielding a 1950s-era story set during the magical years of New York’s Coney Island (home to the titular iconic Ferris wheel), rife with romantic woes and familiar-faced criminal elements.

Here’s the trailer for the film…

The trailer shows Kate Winslet as Ginny, a 1950s housewife who’s stuck in a rut of ambivalence, married to an older husband, Coney Island carousel operator Humpty (Jim Belushi). She attracts the interest of a lifeguard, Mickey (Justin Timberlake), and then everything unravels quick when her husband’s grown daughter Carolina (Juno Temple) comes back home.

The film is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on December 1st.
