Trailer for Danny Boyle's 'Trance'

By ABS Contributor | Published on January 10, 2013

So I didn’t have the foggiest inkling that Danny Boyle had a new movie coming out this year, but what do you know – here’s a trailer for it. What a perfectly pleasant surprise with which to begin the day.

The movie is titled Trance, and stars James McAvoy as an art thief. The plot appears to be as such: Vincent Cassel hits McAvoy on the head, and he forgets where he hid a valuable painting, and so Cassel hires a hypnotist played by Rosario Dawson to help McAvoy remember. And… there’s talk of false memories, so apparently Dawson incepts McAvoy at some point? Who knows. It’s Boyle, so the film is sure to be pumped full of energy, which you can see evident in the trailer.

Trance comes out in the UK on March 27th, and will presumably be hitting our shores sometime later this year. Check out the trailer:

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
