Cohen Media Group has announced that they will exclusively release the first 10 minutes of the ghostly thriller THE AWAKENING via iTunes Movie Trailers on Thursday, August 9th.
It’s a great move by the company, as this flick has been somewhat under the radar thus far; in addition, there’s a glut of horror flicks hitting in late August, so this one will need all the help it can get.
The Awakening stars Rebecca Hall (The Town, the upcoming Iron Man 3) and Dominic West (HBO’s The Wire). Set in London in 1921, Florence Cathcart (Hall), author of the popular book “Seeing Through Ghosts,” has devoted her career to exposing claims of the supernatural as nothing but hoaxes. Haunted by the recent death of her fiancé, she is approached by Robert Mallory (West) to investigate the recent death of a student at the all-boys boarding school where he teaches. When students at the school report sightings of the young boy’s ghost, she decides to take on the case. Initially, the mystery surrounding the ghost appears nothing more than a schoolboy prank, but as Florence continues to investigate events at the school, she begins to believe that her reliance on science may not be enough to explain the strange phenomenon going on around her.
Having seen THE AWAKENING (review up next week), I can confirm that it’s a spooky good time, and the first ten minutes are both fun and eerie. You’ll be able to watch them over at Apple when the time comes. The film itself opens on AUGUST 17th here in the States.
