When George Clooney works with the Coens, he's usually in front of the camera. But for Suburbicon, he's in writer/director/producer mode and has the likes of Matt Damon, Julianne Moore and Oscar Isaac starring. Check out the first trailer for the film...
The Suburbicon of the title is a peaceful, idyllic suburban community with affordable homes and manicured lawns; the perfect place to raise a family. And in the summer of 1959, the Lodge family is doing just that.
But the tranquil surface masks a disturbing reality, as husband and father Gardner Lodge (Damon) must navigate the town’s dark underbelly of betrayal, deceit, and violence. There are mobsters, threats, death and weirdoes to deal with.
Clooney here worked on the Coen-originated script with regular partner Grant Heslov, and is definitely aiming for a tone that blends his own work as director with the brothers and maybe just a touch of Steven Soderbergh. Suburbicon will be out on 24 November in the UK, following a 27 October debut in the States.
