Babygirl, the erotic thriller starring Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson, has unveiled its first trailer.

The erotic thriller sees Kidman play high-ranking CEO Romy, who embarks on a passionate romance with a much younger intern, Samuel (Dickinson).

Ahead of its release in cinemas later this year in the US - and January for UK audiences - the first trailer has been released, showing the cat-and-mouse game of flirtation involving the central duo.

After a while, it becomes clear that there is a larger game at play, with the pair grappling - both literally and figuratively - to become the dominant party in the relationship.

In addition to Kidman and Dickinson, the cast for Babygirl includes Antonio Banderas, Sophie Wilde and Gaite Jansen, with Halina Reijn - best known for Bodies Bodies Bodies - serving as both director and screenwriter.

Kidman, who won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the 81st Venice International Film Festival for her performance, recently explained that filming for Babygirl wasn’t easy, describing the role as “vulnerable”.

“This definitely leaves me exposed and vulnerable and frightened, and all of those things when it's given to the world,” she said. “But making it with these people here, it was delicate and intimate and very, very deep."

She went on to reveal that she is "nervous" over how the film will be received, but is ultimately "proud" of the project, particularly as women were "at the helm".

“I think that's what made it so compelling," she continued. "Being in the hands of Halina [as my director], because I knew she wasn't going to exploit me. I mean, however anyone interprets it, I didn't feel exploited. I felt very much a part of it. It's the story that I wanted to be a part of, that I wanted to tell, and every part of me was committed to that.”

Babygirl is in US cinemas on December 25 and UK cinemas on January 10.
