It should speak to Jacques Audiard‘s talent that our first trailer for his next film, although indiscernible in French, is more stirring and powerful than most we’ve had this year. The Beat That My Heart Skipped director is prepping his follow-up to the stunning A Prophet for a festival premiere and international bow next month after much anticipation. Starring Marion Cotillard and Bullhead lead Matthias Schoenaerts, Audiard and his co-writer, Thomas Bidegain, have condensed Craig Davidson‘s omnibus novel into one story for Rust & Bone. Check out the excellent look below from Cinemateaser (via ThePlaylist).
