Assuaging any worries that he may have been forced to tone down the darkness for his Hollywood debut, a new R-rated trailer for director Michael Haneke’s Funny Games has hit the interweb.
A remake of Haneke’s 1997 foreign-language original, Funny Games features Naomi Watts, Tim Roth and young Devon Gearhart as a vacationing family who to their surprise are trussed up and mentally tortured by Michael Pitt and Brady Corbet’s screwed-up thrill-killers – you know, for kicks.
The trailer is undoubtedly spoilerific (you can see a major character getting offed), but the clip demonstrates a twisted streak that bodes well for the final cut.
