English Subtitled Theatrical Trailer For Olaf De Fleur's CITY STATE

Icelandic director Olaf De Fleur caused quite a stir back in October when word dropped that 3:10 To Yuma director James Mangold had signed on to direct a US remake of his action drama City State.

It was a surprising move for a film that had just premiered in its native Iceland with the only English language material available online being a minute long teaser. It's not until now - a solid two months into the film's very successful Icelandic release - that the full trailer has arrived online in English friendly form.

Set in modern day Iceland, an immigrant vows revenge after losing his unborn child in an attack by a crime syndicate, thereby binding his fate with a troubled policewoman, her corrupt police commander, and a crime lord who's losing his edge.

Jonathan Pryce plays a key support role in this one but it looks as though the real draw is De Fleur's grasp on the globalization of crime. This is dark, gritty character driven stuff and once it arrives on these shores - expect a US festival premiere soon - audiences will also get a chance to see ScreenAnarchy's own Swarez play a support part that involves him spending large amounts of time stoned in his underwear.

Take a look at the trailer and a quartet of stills below.
