Formerly titled How To Catch A Monster, the surreal directorial debut from Ryan Gosling finally drops a trailer, after a showing at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival that could have gone better for the movie. Negative reviews have dogged it since its premiere, but we will finally get to judge for ourselves when the movie hits our screens later this year. Judging by this first trailer, this dark, contemporary fairy tale does show Gosling's eye for some intriguing imagery, and there is a good cast here, including Christina Hendricks, Saoirse Ronan, Eva Mendes, and former Doctor Who star Matt Smith.
While the trailer seems havey on surreal imagery but extremely light on actual story, the new poster is absolutely wonderful, doing a great job of letting you know what you are in for. Check both out below.
