‘6 Souls’ Trailer: Julianne Moore and Jonathan Rhys Meyers’ Long-Shelved Horror Finally Gets a U.S. Release

Posted on Tuesday, February 19th, 2013 by Angie Han

It’s not always a bad sign when a film gets shelved. Sometimes a perfectly good film gets tangled in legal woes, or becomes the casualty of a studio’s financial setback. Other times, though, the delay is exactly the vote of “no confidence” it appears to be.

I don’t know precisely why The Weinstein Co. decided to delay Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein‘s horror thriller 6 Souls indefinitely in the U.S., but the new trailer suggests it may be in the latter category. Julianne Moore stars as a psychiatrist whose patient Adam (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) suffers from multiple personality disorder. But his case is unusual in that his extra personalities are people who actually existed — murder victims, to be exact. Watch the video after the jump.

Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m operating on, because what better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? Some of the best authors will tell you that writing a short story is a lot harder than writing a long one, that you have to weigh every sentence. What better medium to see how this theory plays itself out beyond that than with movie trailers?
