This trailer seemed pretty good as far as set/costume design and cinematography. I think it could be a very interesting story with a possibility for a great script (Christopher Hampton).... if properly executed with great acting, it could be a hit.
I'll be looking forward to checking it out.
I love a History of Violence. It is in my top 10 movies of all time, that is how much I love it. That probably freaks a lot people out, but I think it is one of the most underrated movies I've seen. I love the performances (especially William Hurt), I loved how Cronenberg builds the suspense, and I love the ending. I think everyone has a film that they like a lot more than the consensus, and for me that film is A History of Violence. You should check out Eastern Promises. It is pretty good (not as good as A History of Violence IMO, but it has a great performance from Viggo Mortenson and Vincent Cassell is really good too). And if you like body horror, Cronenberg definitely has some good ones to choose from (The Fly, Scanners, Existenz).
Now back to A Dangerous Method, yeah the set design should be interesting. I think the script will be really good, judging by my favorable opinion of Hampton's script for Atonement. I think the acting will be very strong. Viggo Mortensen is one of my favorite actors (my average for him over 8 films is 87.38 thanks in part to LOTR, A History of Violence, Eastern Promises, and The Indian Runner). Fassbender hasn't had many huge parts, but I think this might be a great so called launching pad for him (of all main actors in the film I think his performance has the greatest chance of garnering critical acclaim and I haven't even seen the film). And I've liked Knightley in pretty much everything I've seen her in. And then there is Cassell, who had good roles in both Eastern Promises and Aronofsky's Black Swan. It is definitely one of my most awaited films.
