QUEEN OF EARTH Trailer Offers Up A Cheeky Thriller Throwback
There's something so knowingly corny about the trailer for Listen Up Philip director Alex Ross Perry's Queen Of Earth, that it just becomes some kind of wonderful. That something is the deep-throated voice over which totally edges the trailer into...
