The new, red band trailer for Lawless is out, and it still looks pretty damned good.
Director John Hillcoat’s follow-up to The Road stars Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Guy Pearce, Gary Oldman and Mia Wasikowska. Nick Cave (The Proposition) adapted the screenplay from the novel “The Wettest County in the World” by Matt Bondurant. The film hits theaters on August 29.
A new trailer for Lawless just hit the internet thanks to Yahoo!, and while I don’t really think this is a good trailer, but it probably isn’t the last one we’ll see. I’m on board because of the director (John Hillcoat, The Proposition, The Road) and the cast — yes, even Shia.

Up until the apparently obligatory (these days) tag at the end, this is a pretty moody, ominous trailer. I feel like studios force trailer cutters to add those things at the end. For lighter action flicks, sometimes it can be a fun little “hey also” to put in at the end, but here, it’s just tacked on, and considering we’ve already seen the flying whatever-it-is (I guess they just call it “the Bat”) earlier in the trailer, it’s kind of pointless.
But whatever. The movie itself looks as promising as it always has — I’m guessing everybody reading this is already on-board or not, and nothing Warner Brothers can show to us now is really gonna sway that. The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters on July 20th, 2012.
