Trailer Temptation by Linh
A film trailer for the psychological thriller Peacock has finally been released and it looks tantalising.
Sadly, there is still no word on a theatrical release for Peacock and the direct-to-DVD prospects look likely. Distributor Lionsgate recently announced the film would make its DVD debut on April 20 in the US this year, but a date for the overseas market is yet to be confirmed.
The trailer shows an edgy, dark and mysterious quality to the film and its characters, with a Jaws-like suspenseful soundtrack accompanying the drama. It would be wonderful to see Peacock screen at various film festivals such as Sundance, Toronto or even Cannes.
Peacock is a Hitchcockian suspense thriller that deals with sexual ambiguity, split personality disorder, prejudice and loneliness in a seemingly serene and friendly small community town. The film is set in the fictional town of Peacock in Nebraska where a shy and quiet bank teller named John Skillpa (played by Cillian Murphy), who secretly leads a double life as husband and wife. His female alter-ego is Emma, who cooks, cleans and seldom leaves the house. One fateful day, a train derails and crashes into John and Emma's backyard, which subsequently leads to nosy residents finally meeting Emma. John's secret is further threatened by a young woman named Maggie (Ellen Page), who sparks a battle between the two personalities until it rips John apart.
The stellar cast includes Susan Sarandon, Bill Pullman and Josh Lucas.
