GFF2013 – New Trailer And Clip For Park Chan-Wook’s Stoker

At last week’s Glasgow Film Festival launch the film that stood out for me was the inclusion of Park Chan-Wook‘s Stoker and even last night’s Sundance premier fairly mixed but positive reviews it’s still one of our anticipated films. On this rather cold (and some places snow covered) damp afternoon  we have a new 60 second UK trailer & first clip for Stoker delivering dark, twisted creepiness in a downward spiral of mistrust and deception.

Mia Wasikowska plays India a young woman whose mourning the death of her father(Dermont Mulroney) with Nicole Kidman playing her  emotionally unstable mother Evelyn both are visited by India’s mysterious uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode) whom she’s intrigued with despite knowing about his existence. However when Charlie arrives it also marks the mysterious disappearance of many of the locals and over time India discovers her uncle may have an ulterior motive on why he’s here.

Probably out of the Korean directors making their English language debut this year Park Chan-Wook is probably the more familiar name amongst cinephiles largely thanks to the Vengeance trilogy which includes the brilliant Oldboy subject to a Hollyood remake from Spike Lee starring Josh Brolin. However the translation of Chan-Wook’s storytelling to English language will be the test but as his previous films have been well received we have plenty of faith that Stoker will do the business when it’s released.

In the first clip from Stoker we get see how much more unstable Nicole Kidman‘s character really is but also a question mark over India too, as she might be hiding something too like her Uncle Charlie!

Stoker is set for a 1st March UK,Irish and US release date with the film playing at Glasgow Film Festival on 16th & 17th February. Stoker also stars Jacki Weaver, Lucas Til,Alden Ehrenreich with Tony and Ridley Scott as executive producers
