We get a glimpse of this unraveling in the just-over two-minute trailer, as clips of an unnerved Tesfaye flash across the screen while an off-screen voice delivers “death is nothing at all. It does not count. Everything remains exactly how it was.”

Footage of Tesfaye on-stage performing and off-stage partying and acting recklessly alternate, with Ortega introduced as what appears to be his love interest.
Take a closer look at some first-look photos in the gallery above and expect the film to release in theaters on May 16.
