The Frankly Creepy Truth About Charlie: The Stoker Trailer

Having just watched Shadow of a Doubt, the trailer for Stoker felt intriguingly familiar. The uncle is just as sinister, but the incest is more textual, and Nicole Kidman's mad mom is a neat perversion of the apple-pie perfection of the family in Hitchcock's film. In addition to the content, the talent behind Stoker might be worth the ticket. The director is Park Chan-wook. His Oldboy may be one of the most operatic, beautiful and straight-out looney tunes films ever shown, which is already good news. And the script is written by Wentworth Miller. Prison Break Wentworth Miller. He may have never been one of my top celebrity crushes, but I can recognize his attractiveness on an intellectual level. And now that he's made his (surely) beautiful (and well-manicured) fingers type out a screenplay, I can't decide whether I'm impressed or jealous. On the one hand, he didn't have to. On the other, it's all a little bit greedy.
