Danny Boyle looks like he could have another hit on his hand with Trance, which reaches UK cinemas on March 27th. Now three character posters for the film have debuted, giving us a look at James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson and Vincent Cassel.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Following the spectacular London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony, Academy Award® winning director Danny Boyle returns to the big screen with this psychological thriller about a fine art auctioneer, mixed up with a criminal gang, who join forces with a hypnotherapist to recover a lost painting.
‘TRANCE stars James McAvoy (Atonement, X-Men First Class), Vincent Cassel (Black Swan, Mesrine) and Rosario Dawson (Seven Pounds, Sin City). The film re-unites Boyle with many of his frequent collaborators including screenwriter John Hodge (Trainspotting, Shallow Grave) and Underworld’s Rick Smith who has composed the original score.’
It looks like Danny Boyle’s Trance is going to be a lot more gory than you might expect, especially if you know the premise, which sounds like a pretty standard thriller. However this new Red Band trailer shows us we’re going inside James McAvoy’s mind for some strange sights, where not even having half his head blown off can stop Vincent Cassel’s character.
Trance has had a slightly unusual production process, as it was shot during late 2011, but then director Danny Boyle had to go off and put together the Olympics Opening Ceremony, and so the editing and other post production was put on hold until the summer festivities were over.
