Gore Verbinski's A CURE FOR WELLNESS Gets Some Unsettling Viral Promos
It's been a while since we've seen anything from director Gore Verbinski, who I'm sure would rather we all forget about the disastrous The Lone Ranger and remember him from his better days directing the excellent American adaptation of The Ring. Verbinski is back with a mysterious new movie called A Cure for Wellness, which stars Dane DeHaan as a guy who discovers a "wellness spa" in the Swiss Alps while searching for his boss, and encounters the spa's "dubious" director, played by Jason Isaacs (The Patriot).
ScreenCrush points us to a couple of strange promo videos for the movie, which are disguised as ads from the spa. And while I definitely wouldn't describe them as terrifying or even scary, they're still a little unsettling and presumably give us a glimpse at the kind of tone we can expect from the film. Take a look:
Any time a video tells you to "accept the futility of your existence," you know it's probably not promoting an enjoyable experience. You can visit the movie's official site for more weirdness, and I've heard that an official teaser is supposed to debut sometime tonight, so we'll probably share it with you first thing in the morning.
