Go on the Hunt with Scarlett Johansson in Trailer for 'Under the Skin'

As promised after yesterday's starry poster release, a new trailer for Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin has been released. Scarlett Johansson stars in a role we've never quite seen her in before as a sultry alien using her sexual powers to lure in male victims for an unknown purpose. Glazer, who also directed Birth and Sexy Beast, has a gift for vivid imagery and that's reflected in this footage. The comparisons to Kubrick seem obvious but we'll have to wait until April 4th to see if they truly hold up.

Check out the trailer and synopsis below.



PLOT: From visionary director Jonathan Glazer (SEXY BEAST, BIRTH) comes a stunning career transformation, a masterpiece of existential science fiction that journeys to the heart of what it means to be human, extraterrestrial — or something in between. A voluptuous woman of unknown origin (Scarlett Johansson) combs the highways in search of isolated or forsaken men, luring this succession of lost souls into an otherworldly lair. They are seduced, stripped of their humanity, and never heard from again. Based on the novel by Michel Faber (The Crimson Petal and the White), UNDER THE SKIN examines human experience from the perspective of an unforgettable heroine who grows too comfortable in her borrowed skin, until she is abducted into humanity with devastating results.
