Terrific Trailer for the Indie Flick 'Accidents Happen'

DateMonday, June 8, 2009 at 8:43AM
You don't see this transition every day: Composer to director. Aussie Andrew Lancaster has juggled both of those roles over the past 20 years or so, working on his own films as a director or director-composer, and he's also done scores and music editing for other projects, too, including Alex Proyas' Garage Days.

His new film (as a director) is Accidents Happen, which plays the Sydney Film Festival this weekend and has already seen time at Tribeca. This appears to be a standalone teaser that could be separate from the plot of the film, but the cinematography is so unbelievably pristine that I had to look it up to be sure. Wouldn't you know it: Even though it's made to look like a postcard version of the movie, this actually is a scene from the film.

And it figures, too, because producers don't want to pay to film for a couple of days just to make a trailer, no matter how good it would be. In this case, the trailer's exceptional. Really, really good. If this had debuted during the Super Bowl, it would have been the trailer people talked about.


Thanks to Quiet Earth

Yep, that's Geena Davis as the mother. The family's incredibly dysfunctional, and I think we just watched a clue as to why. We'll keep you posted on release date information as it becomes available.
