The shirts — and the gloves — are off in the new trailer for Promising Young Woman director Emerald Fennell's Oscar-buzzy thriller Saltburn.

In the film's new preview, Euphoria actor Jacob Elordi goes shirtless as the object of Academy Award–nominated Banshees of Inisherin star Barry Keoghan's curiosity, as both young men play rising academic stars thrust into chaos at Oxford University in 2006.

After Elordi's character brings Keoghan's into his otherworldly realm of aristocratic academia, the latter meets the matriarchal Elsbeth (Rosamund Pike), one of many quirky figures that pop up throughout the clip, which also features a karaoke rendition of Flo Rida's "Low" and lots of binge-drinking.

The preview later teases a brief appearance from Carey Mulligan, marking a notable reunion between the Oscar nominee and Fennell, her Promising Young Woman director.

Following Saltburn's premiere on the fall festival circuit, the film earned glowing reviews from critics, many of whom praised its central performances — particularly Pike's.

Fennell recently told EW that she hopes audiences consider its shocking moments beyond how they make them feel on the surface.

"I think the laugh-gasp is the thing that I'm always looking for in a movie," she said. "And I think it's also where you start to question yourself as an audience member. Those places where you're like, 'Is this sexy? Is it revolting? Do I love him? Do I hate him?' That's part of what this movie is about."

Saltburn — also starring Richard E. Grant — hits limits theaters on Nov. 17, followed by a nationwide rollout on Nov. 22. Watch the new trailer above.
