Check Out The Trailer For Gus Van Sant’s ‘Promised Land’

Gus Vant Sant (Good Will Hunting) and Matt Damon are pairing up again for what looks to be another touching drama.

The film is called Promised Land, and will be available for your viewing pleasure on January 11th, 2013). It features a pretty stellar cast with the likes of Matt Damon, John Krasinski, Frances McDormand, Rosemarie DeWitt, Titus Welliver, and more.

Take a peek at the trailer, and let us know what you think! The plot synopsis is as follows:

Promised Land is the new contemporary drama directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, Milk). Matt Damon plays Steve Butler, an ace corporate salesman who is sent along with his partner, Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand), to close a key rural town in his company’s expansion plans.  With the town having been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to accept their company’s offer, for drilling rights to their properties, as much-needed relief. What seems like an easy job for the duo becomes complicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher (Hal Holbrook) with support from a grassroots campaign led by another man (John Krasinski), as well as the interest of a local woman (Rosemarie DeWitt). Promised Land explores America at the crossroads where big business and the strength of small-town community converge.

The trailer is very effective, and the films looks pretty powerful from this short glimpse. It’s great to see another team up between Van Sant and Damon. Here’s hoping for another Good Will Hunting!
