Trance, a new UK film starring James McAvoy, Vincent Cassel and Rosario Dawson and directed by Danny Boyle (28 Days Later, Slumdog Millionaire, the opening ceremony for the 2012 London Olympic Games), has released its first trailer courtesy of Fox Searchlight Pictures. The film will be a psychological, reality-bending thriller revolving around art thieves and hypnotism.
“Fine art auctioneer Simon (McAvoy), in league with a gang led by underworld boss Franck (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.”

Trance is set to be released in the UK on March 27th. A US release date has yet to be announced.
