Trailer for Stoker Unveiled
U.S. trailer for director
PARK Chan-wook’s first Hollywood project,
Stoker has been unveiled following the release of the international trailer and it left a deep impact on those who saw it. The trailer is full of tension. Nicole Kidman, Mia Wasikovska and Matthew Goode’s excellent acting is boosting expectation for the film.
India Stoker’s mother Evelyn’s barrage of evil words directed her daughter is only a glimpse of some of the horrible things to come. The mother and daughter are left in a mansion following the death of India’s father. Charlie (Matthew Goode) visits them and the story takes on a strange tension between the three of them. The trailer has been edited to bring out the tension to the full.
There has only been very basic information about Stoker so far including a very brief synopsis. So any footage related to the project has been welcomed with a great sense of excitement.
Foreign media have raved about the U.S. trailer with Perez Hilton saying “it’s a grand, thrilling film that’s like a puzzle. I can’t wait until 2013.” “Park’s characters seen in his Korean films have returned and they’ve been upgraded (bloody disgusting), “The audience will recognize Park’s unique atmosphere when they see the film” (Joblo) are some of the reactions.
Stoker has been produced by Ridley Scott and the late Tony Scott. Wentworth Miller who starred in Prison Break wrote the script and Clint Mansell of Black Swan is the music director, adding to the high expectation of the film. Stoker is set to open in the first half of 2013.
