The new international trailer for Chan-wook Park’s STOKER, starring Nicole Kidman, Mia Wasakowska, and Matthew Goode has arrived and takes a less creepy and more seductive approach than the U.S. version. Although I was sold on the prior trailer, this one is better chopped and uses Death in Vegas’ song “Dirge” to its full potential. It’s always cool to see a happy marriage of images and music and I think this is a great example.
Have a look:
I’m excited and curious to see this more so for Park’s involvement than anything else, as it’s always a gamble when a filmmaker makes the jump into Hollywood features. I think he’ll be a good fit judging by the trailer, but you just never know. Kidman is still a stunner in my opinion and can act her ass off, Wasikowska has got the not-so-innocent look down pat, and Goode looks like a perfectly smooth psychopath. I love these hot mess family stories. Reminds me of the holidays, just with less murder.
STOKER is slated to be released in 2013.
