Warner Bros. Pictures, via Apple, has released a green-band trailer for Danny Boyle’s crime-thriller Trance. This one is much less gory than the red-band version but no less interesting.
The film follows a fine art auctioneer who gets mixed up with a criminal gang and joins forces with a hypnotherapist to recover a lost painting.
James McEvoy is the lead, with Rosario Dawson and Vincent Cassel offering strong support.
Trance opens March 27th in Ireland and the UK, and April 5th in the US.
Trance, directed by Oscar®-winning filmmaker Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours) and co-written by Oscar®-nominated long term collaborator John Hodge (Shallow Grave, Trainspotting) is a seductive and enigmatic thriller starring James McAvoy, Vincent Cassel and Rosario Dawson.
Fine art auctioneer Simon (McAvoy), in league with a gang led by underworld boss Franck (Cassel), plots the audacious theft of a masterpiece by Goya from a major public auction. When Simon double-crosses the gang during the robbery, Franck retaliates violently and knocks him unconscious.
In the aftermath of the heist, Simon sticks stubbornly – and perhaps shrewdly – to his claim that the violent trauma has left him with no memory of where he stashed the artwork.
Unable to coerce the painting’s location from Simon, Franck and his associates reluctantly join forces with a charismatic hypnotherapist (Dawson) in a bid to get him to talk. But as they journey deeper into Simon’s jumbled psyche the boundaries between reality and hypnotic suggestion begin to blur and the stakes rise faster and far more dangerously than any of the players could have anticipated.
