The trailer for Aftershock, the latest of Selena Gomez‘s movies that see the actress stepping outside of her usual family-friendly fare, has been released on the Internet, finally, on Dec. 21. The film, co-written by scream king Eli Roth, looks to be a terrifying horror film!

While Selena’s role remains under wraps — nary a glimpse of the former Disney actress is provided in the trailer — the film looks to be great, scary fun! In it, co-writer Eli takes an acting role, playing a tourist in Chile who survives a major earthquake, only for the real horrors to begin!

Earlier this year, Selena spoke with MTV about her appearance in the film and how it came to be. “I was in Chile doing a concert,” she explained, “and [Eli] was shooting a movie called ‘Aftershock’ and he asked if I wanted to make a cameo. And I did!”

Selena continues, “It’s actually a very funny scene with him and I improving. And it’s cute. Well, I mean, the movie’s not cute. It’s actually scary, but the scene was cute.” While her appearance in the film may be brief, she explained that she’s eager to have another opportunity to work with ELi.

“And so we kind of became friends and hopefully we’ll be able to work together again. [He’s] very smart.”

Smart boys seem to be important to Selena since dating Justin Bieber. The actress recently celebrated the birthday of very smart friend, and fellow UNICEF volunteer, Ronan Farrow in Los Angeles on Dec. 16. A photo of the two getting extra-cuddly was leaked to the Internet and caused quite a stir, though it appeared to be quite innocent.

Aftershock is set to be released sometime in 2013.
