Whoa. Caution - you might have to rub your eyes after staring at this poster. While we still don't have an official US release date yet, TotalFilm has debuted the first teaser poster for Danny Boyle's Trance. And obviously it's supposed to put you in a trance, since this film is about a hypnotherapist helping out an art heist. We featured the first trailer just a few weeks ago, so it's obvious they've started marketing, since it's out in March over there. James McAvoy stars and can be faintly seen on this poster, if you step back far enough. I like how bold and unique this design is, I really hope the rest of the marketing is just as out there.

An art auctioneer who has become mixed up with a group of criminals partners with a hypnotherapist in order to recover a lost painting. "It takes the idea of a stolen painting and develops into something sleeker and more psychological, with twists and turns." Trance is directed by Oscar winning British filmmaker Danny Boyle, of the films Trainspotting, The Beach, 28 Days Later, Sunshine, Slumdog Millionaire and 127 Hours previously. The screenplay was co-written by Joe Ahearne & John Hodge. Trance will be released in UK cinemas on March 27th. Fox Searchlight is releasing in the US, but hasn't set our date yet. Stay tuned!
