Look past the grimy quality of this trailer for Snowpiercer and you might see a standard sci-fi. But why then are the Weinsteins picking this up for distribution? Well let’s just say they say faith in the director. Adapted from a French graphic novel, Joon-ho Bong‘s Snowpiercer follows a group of survivors as they race towards a safe haven after the world has been devastated by global warming.
With a star-studded cast including Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Ed Harris and Octavia Spencer, Snowpiercer is highly anticipated following Bong’s critical success with The Host. Check out the trailer below.
