‘The East’ Trailer Starring Brit Marling

Here’s the debut trailer for The East from director Zal Batmanglij (Sound of my Voice). Like Sound of my Voice, The East also is written and stars Brit Marling in addition to performances from Ellen Page, Alexander Skarsgård, and Patricia Clarkson.

The film just has its premiere at Sundance 2013, but it doesn’t have a theatrical release just yet. The great trailer coupled with my fondness for their last collaboration makes me very excite for this one.  Watch the trailer and read the full synopsis after the jump.

In THE EAST, Sarah Moss (Marling) is a brilliant operative for an elite private intelligence firm whose top objective is to ruthlessly protect the interests of their A-list corporate clientele. She is assigned to go undercover to infiltrate an anarchist collective known for executing covert attacks upon major corporations. Living amongst them in an effort to get closer to their members, Sarah finds herself unexpectedly torn between two worlds as she starts to fall in love with the group’s charismatic leader, finding her life and her priorities irrevocably changed.
