Your new favorite pop star might just be Elle Fanning, or, at least, her newest character. In the new Teen Spirit trailer, Fanning sings a cover of Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own,” and shows she’s a teen idol in the making. But, while she sounds great, from the looks of the rest of the trailer, pop stardom might not be all it’s cracked up to be.
The first trailer for Teen Spirit, written and directed by The Handmaid’s Tale ‘s Max Minghella, gives an introduction to Fanning’s Violet, a shy British teenager who dreams of pop stardom. It’s why she decides to compete in an American Idol -style singing competition, where she wins everyone over with her dreamy rendition of “Dancing On My Own.”
The montages, alone, of her in Fame- esque dance rehearsals and performing onstage, make it clear that to be the best, Violet’s gonna have to work overtime to beat the rest of these other prospective pop stars.
