It wouldn’t be until after Robert Rodriguez’s WIP screening at SXSW that his newest psychological thriller, Hypnotic, would land a distributor and release date for May 12. That update now comes with an official trailer via Ketchup Entertainment which you can view below with Ben Affleck starring from a script by Rodriguez and co-writer Max Borenstein.
Determined to find his missing daughter, Austin detective Danny Rourke (Ben Affleck) instead finds himself spiraling down a rabbit hole while investigating a series of reality-bending bank robberies where he will ultimately call into question his most basic assumptions about everything and everyone in his world. Aided by Diana Cruz (Alice Braga), an unnervingly gifted psychic, Rourke simultaneously pursues and is pursued by a lethal specter (William Fichtner) – the one man he believes holds the key to finding the missing girl – only to discover more than he ever bargained for.
