Opening in just a few weeks in the UK is Ben Wheatley’s SIGHTSEERS, a road trip comedy and love story about two people who just happen to share a passion for killing undesirables. Today brings us a new 60-second spot for the film, which was produced by Edgar Wright, and it appropriately features “Tainted Love” in the soundtrack. These two look very tainted indeed.
Chris (Steve Oram) wants to show Tina (Alice Lowe) his world and he wants to do it his way – on a journey through the British Isles in his beloved Abbey Oxford Caravan. Tina’s led a sheltered life and there are things that Chris needs her to see – the Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, the Keswick Pencil Museum and the rolling countryside that accompanies these wonders in his life. But it doesn’t take long for the dream to fade. Litterbugs, noisy teenagers and pre-booked caravan sites, not to mention Tina’s meddling mother, soon conspire to shatter Chris’s dreams and send him, and anyone who rubs him up the wrong way, over a very jagged edge…
SIGHTSEERS opens in UK theaters on November 30. We’re still awaiting details on a US release, although IFC has acquired it for distribution.
