MOVIE TRAILERS
Watch: International Trailer for 'The Darkest Hour' is for Nightclubs

Last week a new featurette shed some light on the Moscow set action sci-fi flick The Darkest Hour, a film that, judging by the first trailer, looks like it just might be an Russian version of Skyline with better actors, and more active characters. That first trailer also included some exposition ridden lines of dialogue to give us an idea of what kind of strange aliens Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby and Max Minghella would be battling, but this new international trailer does away with that and uses a dubstep, Skrillex-like soundtrack along with a bunch of sweet action to sell the film to people who love techno and nightclubs. Watch it below!
Here's the international trailer for Chris Gorak's sci-fi flick The Darkest Hour (via SlashFilm):
Directed by Chris Gorak (Right at Your Door), produced by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) and written by Jon Spaihts (Ridley Scott's Prometheus), the film is about five young people who find themselves stranded in Moscow, fighting to survive in the wake of a devastating alien attack. Emile Hirsch (Speed Racer) leads the cast including Olivia Thirlby (Juno), Max Minghella (The Social Network), Rachael Taylor (Transformers) and Joel Kinnaman. Summit Entertainment is bringing Chris Gorak's The Darkest Hour to theaters on December 23rd, Christmas weekend, this winter.

Not sure about this one yet. Any movie portraying such stylish death has me worried. Most of us are going to die gagging on our own spit. Nice location though.

I love the first song in the club, "I Need Air by Magnetic Man ft. Angela Hunte. I like Dubstep, but not Techno. The slam on clubbers seemed harsh until the 2nd too techno Skrillex-like track. I was not sure I wanted to see this but I can sit through it if they play I Need Air in the club scene, but I think it might be bait and switch. I doubt highly the second song will make the final cut, even for the credits, but Nero can be very good even tho I don't like that song and with so many many a quality DJ out there, they could have had a contest for the remix. Whatever, bring on the dupstep! -minus the techno.

This looks like a cross between The Happening and Ghost Busters...

The "aliens" look like some bad CGI effect a film student would churn out in Adobe After Effects.

This song is actually pretty much a remix of a Justice song called "Stress." Look up the video, it's really well done, and slightly frightening.

They are REALLY proud of the way the deaths look, as evidenced by the 50 people that died in that clip.

It all began with someone's idea: "Hey guys! Let's make the worst and most ridiculous trailer possible!" Well, congratulations! This is definitely worth a gold medal for "I have nothing to say so I use bad CGI effects and balls of light that disintegrate people".

wow, Ive never seen a more brilliant picture on any movie. looks very interesting, lets hope it doesnt end up like "The Happening" or something lame like that.

Hail hail, I do agree....not every movie has a $500.000.000 budget for groundbreaking CGI. This looks like a pretty descent movie. And for all those 'this movie looks like that movie, and that movie looked like that other movie' people, every movie is a rip off! that happens if there are like 2.059.951 movies...

So basically... a LOW budget version of Ghostbusters 3?

This reminds me of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within a lil bit...

Yes Def has a spirits within vibe. The music was intense as were the scenes. idk what these other comments stem from but this looks like a great popcorn flick!
