Watch: First ‘Slow West’ Trailer Starring Michael Fassbender

A24 picked up John Maclean‘s Slow West out of Sundance and will bring the film exclusively to DirecTV on April 16th before going into theaters/VOD May 15, following the Tribeca Film Festival and the first trailer for the film is now online.

Starring Michael Fassbender and Kodi Smit-McPhee (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), the nineteenth century western centers on 16-year-old Jay Cavendish (Smit-McPhee) as he journeys across the American frontier in search of the woman he loves. He is joined by Silas (Fassbender), a mysterious traveler, and hotly pursued by an outlaw along the way. Ben Mendelsohn and Caren Pistorius co-star.

Just skimming through the trailer I can say Robbie Ryan‘s cinematography really stands out here. You’ll most notably remember his work on Andrea Arnold‘s features Wuthering Heights and Fish Tank, both of which he shot using a 1.33:1 aspect ratio and here he’s shooting at 1.66:1. Watch the trailer and let me know what you think.
