Trailer Time: Never Let Me Go

I only know director Mark Romanek for one thing: 2002's One Hour Photo. One of my favorite films of that year, it featured Robin Williams in the role that proved to me how much better he is playing dark characters than light and fluffy ones.  If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and check it out. Romanek is back now, and again he's got his eyes set on another dark, atmospheric tale, adapting Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go for the big screen.

Dig the amazing cast: Keira Knightley(Atonement), Carey Mulligan(An Education), Andrew Garfield(Red Riding), Sally Hawkins(Happy Go Lucky), and Charlotte Rampling(Swimming Pool). It could be a movie about hedge funds and I'd still go see it with that cast.

Never Let Me Go is set in an alternate universe, and follows three friends and their time growing up in seemingly idyllic boarding school in England. As they become adults, dark secrets from their past become revealed that cast a shadow over their future.  Fox Searchlight has just released the trailer for the film. Check it out below and let us know what you think!
