Fear The Man With Nothing Left To Lose. So goes the tagline of David Michod‘s “The Rover” starring Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson, and with the film now headed to Cannes, A24 has dropped a new trailer and a couple of posters for the thriller. And yes, it looks pretty damn good.
Already showcasing his skill at capturing men pushed to the brink in “Animal Kingdom,” Michod’s latest takes it even further. Set ten years after the collapse of society, with the rule of law now tossed out the window, the story kicks off when Rey (Pattinson) is carjacked and left for dead, only to fall into an partnership with loner Eric (Pearce), who helps him track the down the gang of thieves. And the story, conceived by Michod and Joel Edgerton, looks like one packed with a grim sense of place and a palpable atmosphere of a post-apocalyptic world.
And oh yeah, the song in the trailer? That’s Sol Seppy‘s “Enter One” which you can listen to in full below. “The Rover opens in New York and L.A. on June 13th and expands nationwide on June 20th. Watch the new trailer below.
