Anton Corbijn’s A Most Wanted Man Trailer Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman

Being a big fan of Anton Corbijn’s last film The American, I was excited to learn that his next project would be another spy movie based on a book by John Le CarrĂ© with Philip Seymour Hoffman in the lead role. After Philip Seymour Hoffman’s unexpected death back in February, however, the movie took on a new importance as it suddenly became one of his final on-screen performances. The film premiered at Sundance earlier this year to mostly positive reviews, but now the rest of us will finally get a chance to see it in theatres this summer.
Based on the new domestic trailer, it looks like another slow burn thriller in the vein of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, albeit one that is set in the modern day. The story revolves around a German intelligence operative named Gunter Bachmann (Hoffman) who is setting up an elaborate trap for a suspected Muslim terrorist in Hamburg. The supporting cast includes Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright and Willem Dafoe, but mostly it’s all about Hoffman and his German accent. A Most Wanted Man hits select theatres on July 25th; check out the new trailer and an additional clip after the jump and see what you think.
