First Trailer for Brian De Palma’s PASSION starring Rachel McAdams & Noomi Rapace
Now that’s a good look! The first trailer for Brian De Palma’s erotic thriller (did I get your attention?) PASSION starring Rachel McAdams & Noomi Rapace has been released. A remake of the French film Love Crime, the story revolves around a young businesswomen (Rapace) who plots murderous revenge after her boss and mentor (McAdams) steals her idea. The film is scheduled to hit the festival circuit — Venice, TIFF, and New York — and will subsequently be released in theaters sometime this year. Or next year. Who knows? I’m looking forward to seeing this one at TIFF in a couple of weeks.
Passion tells the story of a deadly power struggle between two women in the dog-eat-dog world of international business. Christine possesses the natural elegance and casual ease associated with one who has a healthy relationship with money and power. Innocent, lovely and easily exploited, her admiring protégé, Isabelle, is full of cutting-edge ideas that Christine has no qualms about stealing. They’re on the same team, after all… But when Isabelle falls into bed with one of Christine’s lovers, war breaks out.
Too bad they didn’t get Tina Fey to star in the film given her sesuality:
