Trailer For Dark Matter Online

Coming Soon has a new trailer for Dark Matter, starring Meryl Streep and Aidan Quinn, which you can see here. What's Dark Matter, you ask? Well, watch the trailer why don't you?

Directed by Chen Shi-Zheng, the official synopsis describes Dark Matter as the story of Liu Xing (Liu Ye), a Chinese science student pursuing a Ph.D. in the United States in the early 1990s. Driven by ambition, yet unable to navigate academic politics, Liu Xing is inexorably pushed to the margins of American life, until he loses his way.

The following may potentially be a spoiler. The synopsis doesn't mention that the story is loosely based on the life of Chinese physics student Gang Lu, who killed five people in a shooting at Iowa University in 1991 and then turned the gun on himself. So don't expect an uplifting story about hard work conquering all.
