Another movie that filmed on location in the Portland area is heading to screens, and this one comes with advance critical praise and awards. “Twinless” filmed locally in 2024, and made its premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.

Critics were enthusiastic, and audiences were too, as “Twinless” went on to win the Sundance audience award for a U.S. dramatic film. One of its stars, Dylan O’Brien, was also honored with the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for acting.

The movie’s official trailer has just been released, and it’s also been announced that “Twinless” will open in theaters on Sept. 5.

“Twinless” is written and directed by James Sweeney, who also costars.

O’Brien, who has previously appeared in the “Teen Wolf” TV series and “The Maze Runner” movie trilogy, plays dual roles as twins.

As the movie’s logline says, “In ‘Twinless,’ two young men meet in a twin support group and form an unlikely friendship. Roman (Dylan O’Brien) and Dennis (James Sweeney) both search for solace and an identity without their other halves and soon become inseparable outside the group. But when Roman meets Dennis’ ebullient co-worker, Marcie (Aisling Franciosi), all is revealed to be not what it seems, as each man harbors secrets that could unravel everything.”
