After the firstSuburbicontrailer debuted last month, showcasing ablood-soaked Matt Damon, fans don’t have to wait long for even more footage. An international trailer has surfaced today that shows how Gardner Lodge’s life in a quiet and peaceful suburb is starting to slip away after a harrowing home invasion results in the death of his wife. As we can see here, all of Gardner’s colleagues and friends extend practically identical sympathetic gestures towards him in this time of grieving.
Suburbicon 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 (Matt Damon) must navigate the town’s dark underbelly of betrayal, deceit, and violence. This is a tale of very flawed people making very bad choices. This isSuburbicon. This new trailer debuted on theEntertainment One YouTubechannel earlier today.
Matt Damon is joined by a stellar supporting cast that includes Julianne Moore,Oscar Isaacand Glen Fleshler, and almost includedJosh Brolin. We reported last week that the actor was brought on to play a baseball coach in two scenes, and that, surprisingly, director George Clooney cut the scenes because Brolin was ‘too funny’. While there isn’t much known about these scenes, the director stated that these handful of humorous moments “let the air out of the balloon”, drastically decreasing the tension. Perhaps we’ll get to see them on the Blu-ray or VOD release afterSuburbiconfinishes its run in theaters.
This movie marks an intriguing reunion for directorGeorge Clooneyand the Coen Brothers, since it marks both the first time that he hasn’t appeared in a movie he directs, and it also marks the first time he has collaborated with the Coen’s on a script. Joel and Ethan Coen wrote the script alongside George Clooney and his writing/producing partner Grant Heslov, which comes after George Clooney starred in four of theCoen Brothersmovies,O Brother, Where Art Thou?,Intolerable Cruelty,Burn After ReadingandHail, Caesar. Oscar Isaac also starred in the Coen Brothers' 2013 filmInside Llewyn Davis, while Matt Damon previously worked with the Coens on their 2010 Western remakeTrue Grit.
