A24 Films has released the full-length A Most
Violent Year trailer for director J.C. Chandor‘s
( All Is Lost ) upcoming crime drama ahead of the
film’s AFI Fest debut. The film is set in New
York in 1981 and revolves around “an American
immigrant ( Oscar Isaac) and his wife ( Jessica
Chastain) trying to expand their business as
violence and corruption threaten to destroy all
they have built.” This looks to be very much a
crime drama in the vein of The Sopranos , in that
the focus is more on how the business impacts
the family rather than the crime business itself.
Chandor has been a talent to watch since his
debut feature Margin Call , and after seeing him
shift gears so dramatically with All Is Lost , I’m
really curious to see what he has up his sleeve
with this new film. Additionally, Isaac and
Chastain are two of the best actors working
today, so the prospect of seeming them lead a
character-centric crime drama such as this is
highly enticing. Can’t wait for this one.
Watch the new A Most Violent Year trailer here ( ). The film also stars Albert Brooks ,
David Oyelowo , and Alessandro Nivola and opens
in NY and LA on December 31st before expanding
in January 2015.
