Trailer Time: A Dangerous Method, starring Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender

Deep breath of relief that David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method actually looks pretty hot 'n steamy. Even though the film stars three powerfully charismatic performers in Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender, and Keira Knightley, the rumored story of a rift between famed psyhoanalysts Carl Jung(Fassbender) and Sigmund Freud(Mortensen) over Sabina Spielrein(Knightley) didn't sound like a surefire winner. What I'm digging is the look of everyone involved, along with the mix of sexual tension and intelligent banter(which should be expected). Keira Knightley's accent seems a bit wobbly, but what I've heard is that she's actually very good.

Vincent Cassell(Black Swan) co-stars as Otto Gross, with Sarah Gadon(Cosmopolis) as Emma Jung. Christopher Hamption wrote the script, based on his own 2002 stage play.  The film will hopefully hit theaters later this year, probably just in time for awards season.
