Alchemy Drops Trailer for Strangerland With Nicole Kidman

The new trailer for Strangerland opens with the heart-wrenching screams of Nicole Kidman. The camera moves through the beautifully shot landscape down under as it is dirtied and finally buried in the sands of a desert storm.

According to the YouTube synopsis, “Newly arrived to a remote desert town, Catherine (Nicole Kidman) and Matthew (Joseph Fiennes) are tormented by suspicion when their two teenage children mysteriously vanish into a dust storm.”

Strangerlandopened at the Sundance Film Festival in January. The film marks the directorial debut of Kim Farrant, and also features Hugo Weaving, Lisa Flanagan, Meyne Wyatt, Maddison Brown and Nicholas. The screenplay was written by Michael Kiniroons and Fiona Seres

“Catherine (Nicole Kidman) and Matt Parker are trying to adjust to their new life in the remote Australian desert town of Nathgari. They are pleasant but keep to themselves, unwilling to get close to anyone,” reads the official synopsis.

“On the eve of a massive dust storm, their lives are rocked when their two teenage children, Lily and Tom disappear into the desert. With Nathgari now eerily smothered in red dust and darkness, the locals join the search lead by local cop, David Rae (Hugo Weaving). It soon becomes apparent that something terrible may have happened to them. Suspicion is cast, rumors spread and ancient Aboriginal stories are told in whispers as the locals begin to turn against the couple. With temperatures rising and the chances of survival plummeting with each passing day, Catherine and Matthew find themselves pushed to the brink, as they struggle to survive the uncertainty of their children’s fate,” it continues.

Alchemy, formerly known as Millennium Entertainment, will release Strangerlandin theaters and on demand on July 10.
