New Trailer for 'The Two Faces of January' with Viggo Mortensen, Oscar Isaac, and Kirsten Dunst

The combination of Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst, and Oscar Isaac should be enough to put a lot of eyes on international crime thriller, The Two Faces of January. But for many the real draw will be author Patricia Highsmith (The Talented Mr. Ripley), as the film marks yet another of her famed novels brought to the screen. When the last trailer for the film debuted a U.S. release date had yet to be secured, but that has now changed.

The latest trailer plays up the noir aspects and picturesque locale in Greece, Paris, and Crete. Mortensen and Dunst are a wealthy couple abroad who encounter a tourist/scam artist (Isaac) and rope him into their murderous plot while the wife may be falling for their new companion. It's another dark, complicated emotional morass from Highsmith, adapted and directed by Drive writer Hossein Amini.

The Two Faces of January has been given a VOD release on August 28th, followed by a limited theatrical run September 26th.

Jessica Biel, Patrick Wilson, and Imogen Poots Join Patricia Highsmith's 'The Blunderer'

The novels of author Patricia Highsmith have always been favorites around Hollywood, but right now there's a run to adapt them like never before. Todd Haynes is filming Carol with Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara starring, and there's also The Two Faces of January coming later this year with Viggo Mortensen and Kirsten Dunst. Last year we learned Andy Goddard would be bringing Highsmith's 1957 psychological thriller The Blunderer to the big screen, and now we know the cast.

Jessica Biel, Patrick Wilson, Imogen Poots, and Toby Jones will star in the untitled film, based on one of Highsmith's craziest stories. Wilson will play Walter Stackhouse, an architect in 1960s New York "married to the beautiful Clara (Biel) and leading a charmed and perfect life. But his fascination with an unsolved murder leads him into a spiral of chaos as he is forced to play cat-and-mouse with a clever killer (Jones) and an over-ambitious detective. Walter's obsession, his lies and his lust for another woman (Poots) will collide in a crush of guilt, innocence and, ultimately, fate."

The plan is for filming to begin later this year.
