Hot on the heels of its successful appearance at Fantastic Fest 09, the full theatrical trailer for Tarik Saleh's animated science fiction film Metropia - with the voices of Juliette Lewis, Vincent Gallo, Alexander Skarsgaard, Udo Kier and Stellan Skarsgaard - has just arrived online. This grey, Kafka-esque story of paranoia and mind control is one of my favorites of the year and this new trailer...

O Mr. Trailer Voice, how I wish to unleash crazy Michael Shannon on your obvious-stating pie-hole. Ignoring that for the moment, the film, lengthily titled My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? does feature the awesome ensemble acting talent from Willem Dafoe, Chloë Sevigny, Michael Shannon, Brad Dourif, Grace Zabriskie, Irma P. Hall and Udo Kier . And shepherded to the screen via Werner Herzog (directing)...
