June 10 is going to be one busy day for Nick Jonas. As if dropping his latest album Last Year Was Complicated wasn’t enough, he’s also starring in the erotic thriller Careful What You Wish For, set to premiere that same day.
If something seems different about Jonas (no, not his lack of clothing), it’s probably because filming began in 2013, back when Jonas was much younger and still in a band with his brothers. Far from his previous acting endeavors in the Camp Rock franchise and more in line with his character in Kindgom, Jonas portrays a young man named Doug Martin who engages in an affair with an older woman played by Isabel Lucas. Seems like an innocent summer fling, right?
Well, as it turns out, the woman is married to a wealthy and abusive man (played by Dermot Mulroney), and things take a turn for the worse as their secret romance becomes tangled in a larger scandal.
“When you’re a kid, you don’t think about consequences—you’re invincible,” Jonas says in the trailer. “But there’s something about the summer—the promise that anything can happen. And in my case, it did.”
By the looks of the trailer, the film is both steamy and shocking. There’s romance, drama, suspense and action. Add in Nick Jonas shirtless and what more could you want in a movie?
