With the U.K. release of Danny Boyle’s upcoming thriller Trance, starring James McAvoy, just months away, a brand new poster and U.S. release date for the film have been revealed.
As the film arrives in U.K. theaters March 27, it will hit theaters stateside the following week on April 5, 2013. Danny Boyle’s first film since 127 Hours, Trance co-stars Rosario Dawson and Vincent Cassel in a film that, if the trailer is any indication, should be yet another stylistic installment into Boyle’s filmography. Take a look at the poster below.
Fine art auctioneer Simon (McAvoy), in league with a gang led by underworld boss Franck (Vincent 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.
