First Trailer For John Fawcett's The Dark

I'll admit to having a rooting interest in The Dark ... it's the new film from Canadian director John Fawcett, a veteran of a great deal of television work who was also behind the indie Canadian werewolf film Ginger Snaps. This is Fawcett's first crack at things with a big budget and I've heard enough good things about it and want to see a Canadian break into the genre's A-list enough that I'm willing to put aside the fact that Paul W.S. Anderson is on board as a producer.

Anyway ... the first trailer for Fawcett's picture is now online. It's dubbed in German but it's enough to give you a good look at the visuals and get at least a cursory idea of where he's going with this and, if nothing else, it certainly looks fantastic. And you really can't go too far wrong with Sean Bean in the lead ...
