Director Joel Schumacher will be forever remembered for bringing us one of the worst superhero movies ever made in Batman & Robin, but if you can look past some of the ill-advised crap he has put out over the years, there are a handful of gems in his filmography as well. Phone Booth and Falling Down are the two that get name-checked in the trailer for his next film Trespass, although it remains to be seen if Trespass will also end up being one of the good ones. Nicole Kidman usually has a knack for choosing movies that are critical hits, if not commercial ones, although she does have her share of duds as well. As for Nicolas Cage, well… we all know where his career has been as of late.

Trespass essentially looks like Schumacher’s version of Funny Games, with Cage and Kidman playing a husband and wife who find their home invaded by a group of masked men looking for money. However, there is clearly more to it than that, as everyone also seems to be hiding a secret. Overall, the trailer looks pretty tense and somewhat reminiscent of David Fincher’s Panic Room as well, but with Millennium Films (Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans, Drive Angry 3D) producing, I am expecting something a bit more cheap and grimy than that. Trespass will premiere at TIFF next month and then hits theatres on Oct. 14th; check out the trailer after the jump and see what you think.
