On Becoming A God In Central Florida FIRST LOOK: Kirsten Dunst and Alexander Skarsgård star in drama

The trailer for Kirsten Dunst and Alexander Skarsgård’s dark comedy On Becoming A God In Central Florida was released earlier this month.

In the quirky new show, which will be premiering on Showtime in August, the 37-year-old actress stars as Krystal Stubbs, a woman out for revenge against the multi-billion-dollar pyramid scheme that ruined her family.

Establishing how the Garbeau company manipulates its victims, Alexander’s Travis declares at the start: ‘Everyone who judged me, all the stinker thinkers who tried to tell me it was a scam, I’m thinking of their faces when they realise they’re about to see what a winner looks like.’

In motivational tapes, Obie Garbeau II (Ted Levine), tells his listeners: ‘Dream a big dream, success is in your blood fella.’

With that in mind, Travis heads to his workplace dressed in a black tuxedo, and trashes the office as he berates his co-workers by saying: ‘Are you going to stay in you J-O-B? Or are you going to embrace your destiny!’

The influence of the Garbeau system seems to be clear in Krystal’s town as resident Cody (Théodore Pellerin) confesses that ‘this is Garbeau country, I’m a Garbeu man.’

Promising his followers ‘the A-list, six star, jet-set lifestyle’ they’ve dreamed of it’s no wonder that so many people swear by the system, but not Krystal.

Storming to the company’s head office, she demands to ‘speak to Obie Garbeau ASA f****** P’ before blasting the ‘f****** tapes’ for telling people they would ‘get rich’.

But the pyramid scheme leader seems unfazed, as he hits back: ‘The system works, look where you are, think about where you wanna be.’

Full of quirky imagery and baffling scenarios, including a mermaid-like Kirsten, violence and Aliens, the trailer sees the characters’ lives descend into chaos at the hands of the Garbeau system.

Krystal is determined to destroy the company from the inside-out as she says she’s ‘calling the shots, f*** the Garbeau system’, before adding: ‘They’re counting on people being brainwashed, we gotta get out, we gotta get out of this.’

Meeting in another scene, Obie calls Krystal a ‘demon’, but she quips: ‘No, I’m a businessman.’

In an interview with People magazine on Wednesday, Kirsten revealed that she convinced her co-star to be a part of the show.

‘I asked Alex to do it because I knew how funny he was and he never gets roles where he could be funny. I knew that this would be a fun opportunity. It was really fun to work with him. I love working with him. He was sad to leave,’ she said.

While she also confessed that the show was ‘the hardest thing that I could possibly do’ as she had just given birth to her and Jesse Plemons 14-month-old son Ennis.

Despite the challenges, the Spider-Man star gushed: ‘I was with this role for two to three years. For me, it was just the perfect time frame. I had family and friends to help me.’

On Becoming A God In Central Florida premieres on Showtime on August 25.
