First Trailer For THE MULE Gets It Right Up In There

It all comes down to a battle of wills in The Mule, the Australian drug comedy written by and starring Leigh Whannell and Angus Sampson with Sampson (who also directs) in the title role as a drug mule with half a kilo of cocaine in his stomach caught by a cop (Hugo Weaving) who intends to simple wait him out until nature takes its course and our drug carrier, um, offloads his cargo. The solution, of course: No toilet time. The only question is whether the titular mule can wait out the seven days he's allowed to be detained for.

Much loved on the festival circuit, The Mule is now gearing up for release in its native Australia and the first trailer is available below.
