New Poster, Trailer for Remake of Pusher

A new poster for the crime thriller Pusher has been released by the studio (right; click for larger image). The tagline: "Never cross the line."

Pusher is an English-language remake of Nicolas Winding Refn's 1996 Danish film of the same title. (Refn went on to film two sequels.)

The storyline is a familiar one, used with minor variations in any number of films: Richard Coyle stars as a drug dealer, who grows increasingly desperate over the course of a week after a botched deal lands him in the merciless clutches of a ruthless crime lord. The more desperate his behavior, the more isolated he becomes until there is nothing left standing between him and the bullet his debtors intend to fire his way.

Directed by Luis Prieto from a screenplay by Matthew Read, and based on a story by Nicolas Winding Refn, Pusher will be in limited theater release beginning October 26th, and available as a video-on-demand two days later. Watch a UK trailer for the film below.
