A new trailer for Trance from Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 127 Hours) has arrived as buzz on this one has been picking up since footage screened at the SXSW Film Festival.
Set to hit theaters on April 5, the story finds James McAvoy starring as Simon, a fine art auctioneer in league with a gang led by underworld boss Franck (Vincent Cassel). The group is plotting the 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, unable to coerce the painting’s location from Simon, Franck and his associates reluctantly join forces with a charismatic hypnotherapist (Rosario 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.
