Nearly two years since the intensely delirious "Antichrist" sent shock waves through the collective spine of film critics and general audiences at Cannes, the good folks at Lars's own Zentropa Films have released the first official trailer for his new psychological/sci-fi/Armageddon-set "MELANCHOLIA", boastsing a formidable cast - Keifer Sutherland, Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, John Hurt, and Von Trier regulars - Stellan Skarsgard and Udo Kier, in addition to formidable photography as evidenced by the trailer.
Not much details are known at the moment, but what we know is that the plot concerns a wedding ceremony gone awry as a "planet hidden behind the Sun" is on a collision course with Earth. Expect mayhem. I, as many, have high hopes for this one.
"MELANCHOLIA" hits theatres July 1st.
