“Cruel Summer” breakout Chiara Aurelia, Finn Wittrock, Jennifer Beals, and Connie Britton round out the cast. What happens when Lady Luck is down, out, and in need of a reinvention after a traumatic attack?<\/p>\n

Mila Kunis stars as the titular \u201cLuckiest Girl Alive\u201d in the Netflix adaptation of Jessica Knoll\u2019s bestselling 2015 novel of the same name. The film premieres in select theaters September 30 and will stream on Netflix October 7. Kunis plays New York Times Magazine editor Ani FaNelli, who seems to be living the perfect New York City life: with the best fashion, best friends, and best fianc\u00e9 (Finn Wittrock). Ani has it all \u2014 until the director of a true crime documentary approaches her to relive a shocking incident from her prestigious high school. Ani is forced to confront a past that threatens her future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s me, and what part I invented,\u201d Kunis as Ani says in the trailer. \u201cCruel Summer\u201d breakout Chiara Aurelia plays the teen version of Ani, with Thomas Barbusca, Scoot McNairy, Justine Lupe, Dalmar Abuzeid, Alex Barone, Carson MacCormac, and Jennifer Beals also starring. Connie Britton portrays Ani\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cHandmaid\u2019s Tale\u201d director Mike Barker helms the film and also executive produces alongside screenwriter Knoll, Lisa Sterbakov, Shayne Fiske Goldner, and Steve Hutensky. Lead star Kunis produces the film as well as Bruna Papandrea, Jeanne Snow, Erik Feig, and Lucy Kitada. Novelist, screenwriter, and executive producer Knoll shared that she could not be present on set during the climatic sequence due to her personal experience with traumatic events. Former Cosmopolitan editor Knoll revealed in 2016 that she was gang-raped as a teenager. Knoll penned a personal essay for Lena Dunham\u2019s Lenny Letter saying that \u201cLuckiest Girl Alive\u201d helped her confront her trauma. \u201cThe first person to tell me I was gang-raped was a therapist, seven years after the fact,\u201d Knoll wrote (via People). \u201cThe second was my literary agent, five years later, only she wasn\u2019t talking about me. She was talking about Ani, the protagonist of my novel, \u2018Luckiest Girl Alive,\u2019 which is a work of fiction. What I\u2019ve kept to myself, up until today, is that its inspiration is not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Knoll continued, \u201cI\u2019ve been running and I\u2019ve been ducking and I\u2019ve been dodging because I\u2019m scared. I\u2019m scared people won\u2019t call what happened to me rape because for a long time, no one did.\u201d<\/p>\n
