It is a little startling to see a new trailer for The Darkest Hour on Apple, since I keep forgetting it isn’t a straight-to-DVD or SyFy release. But I’m continually surprised when they pop up, and today delivers one of those surprises. Summit Entertainment has released a new trailer for the film from Wanted helmer Timur Bekmambetov‘s and director Chris Gorak. The first trailer wasn’t strong, an neither were the latest international trailer and TV spot.
This latest piece is only a touch better since it clocks in around a minute. The effects continue to look like something out of a low-rate videogame and a compelling story seems nearly non-existent. Check out the new trailer below for the film starring Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby, Max Minghella, Rachael Taylor as well as Russian actors Gosha Kutsenko, Dato Bakhtadze, Nikolai Yefremov and Arthur Smolyaninov.
Synopsis:
The DARKEST HOUR is the story of five young people who find themselves stranded in Moscow, fighting to survive in the wake of a devastating alien attack. The 3D thriller highlights the classic beauty of Moscow alongside mind-blowing special effects.
The Darkest Hour hits theaters December 25th, 2011.
