THE DRIFTLESS AREA Trailer: Anton Yelchin Seeks Revenge For Zooey Deschanel

I'd never heard of The Driftless Area until about three minutes ago, but after watching this trailer (via Yahoo), I'm curious to see it. Anton Yelchin stars as a guy who meets the ghost of a woman (Zooey Deschanel) who was killed in a fire, and she convinces him to get revenge on the people who killed her. Not exactly your typical "boy meets girl" story, huh? I'm not a huge fan of Yelchin and Deschanel, and that premise sounds like a Nicholas Sparks fantasy filtered through a revenge lens, but as soon as I saw the supporting cast, that got my attention in a big way. John Hawkes, Frank Langella, Ciaran Hinds, Alia Shawkat, and Aubrey Plaza round out the cast.

The movie doesn't appear to be coming to theaters, but it'll hit VOD and DVD on April 26th.

No one knows if Pierre fell for the wrong girl or was just unlucky in love. Based on the novel of the same title by Tom Drury, Zachary Sluser’s neo-noir, metaphysical romance centers on a budding love affair that causes a ripple effect in a quiet town. After his parents’ death, an affable bartender, Pierre Hunter (Anton Yelchin), returns to his childhood home where he falls for the enigmatic Stella (Zooey Deschanel), a stunning woman with an elusive past. Pierre finds himself pulled into a cat-and-mouse game with an incompetent yet destructive criminal (John Hawkes). Braced with a duffel bag full of cash and unyielding optimism, an unveiling mystery sets Pierre down a path that will determine all of their fates.
