Superb first trailer now online!

I don't want to get too deep into the "Stoker" weeds, since this is a thread about "Tracks", but the film was never conceived as some blockbuster type affair - it's a very strange, beautiful, artistic film that is not meant as mainstream american audience fodder. It was in theaters in my area for several weeks at the most, but for this type of film, in this current era, the theatrical run (if there is any at all) is more designed as a launch - they think much more long term - dvd, blu-ray, etc. (also it wasn't an expensive film to make in the first place). I'm not sure if Park Chan-wook's "Old Boy" for example, which has developed a real cult following over the years, even had a theatrical release in the states - yet, people still purchase the film and discuss it, and Spike Lee even has a re-make of it in the theaters right now (which many people consider almost blasphemy). "Stoker" is the kind of film that builds it's audience over time - it has been seen by the demanding Park Chan-wook followers as a very successful entrance into english speaking films (other asian masters have been seen as losing their mojo and having produced disappointing films in the states that don't reflect what made them unique in the first place). Anyway, I could go into much more detail as to how this film is conceived to reach it's audience - and how it's entering the cinema audience bloodstream - but, like I said, we're on a "Tracks" thread. If you get the chance, see "Stoker" (starting this weekend on HBO) and see what you think - there's been an extremely lively discussion on IMDB "Stoker" that has been going on for months - you could put in your feedback if you like - it would be welcomed. As I said, Mia gives one hell of a performance, too.
