Crimson Peak: First Trailer for Guillermo del Toro's Gothic Horror Movie
The first trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s ghost movie, Crimson Peak, is here.
“Ghosts are real, that much I know. I’ve seen them all my life,” comes a disembodied voice at the beginning of the trailer for Crimson Peak, the upcoming supernatural thriller by Guillermo Del Toro, who directed visionary horror movies like Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth and The Devil’s Backbone. Beware of Crimson Peak, we are warned.
Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures debuted the Crimson Peak trailer online. The movie stars Mia Wasikowska (Stoker, Alice in Wonderland), Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty, A Most Violent Year), Tom Hiddleston (Marvel’s The Avengers, Only Lovers Left Alive), Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy, Pacific Rim) and Jim Beaver.
“When her heart is stolen by a seductive stranger, a young woman is swept away to a house atop a mountain of blood-red clay: a place filled with secrets that will haunt her forever,” reads the official synopsis. “Between desire and darkness, between mystery and madness, lies the truth behind Crimson Peak.”
The screenplay was written by Del Toro and Matthew Robbins.
Crimson Peak follows an aspiring author who tries to hide from ghosts of her past in a house so haunted, it’s is coming alive. The mansion “breathes, bleeds … and remembers.” The shows that the house will be as strong a character anything played by Mia Wasikowska or Tom Hiddleston. In interviews during production, del Toro said it took “the better part of a year” to build “an entire Victorian mansion, three stories high, with working elevators, working bathrooms, rooms, a full library.”
Crimson Peak was produced by Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, Guillermo del Toro, Callum Greene.
