SILENT HOUSE ...first trailer.
Quote:
There is a rare subgenre that pushes this style to the brink: Films that claim to be filmed entirely in real-time, in one take. Hitchcock did that (kind of) with the dark comedy Rope; Alexander Sokurov did it with Russian Ark; and now, the upcoming Silent House will use the style in the service of an old-fashioned scary-house horror film.
Silent House is actually a remake of a Uruguayan film, although the real story here is Silent House will be the first post-breakout film for Elizabeth Olsen. Also, fun fact: Silent House is directed by Chris Kentis and Laura Lau, who were last in theaters with 2003′s Open Water.

THIN ICE ...first trailer of the dark comedy.
Quote:
A morally ambiguous Midwesterner trying to make a quick buck.
A devious get-rich-quick scheme comically thwarted by a random act of violence.
Snow — lots of snow.
Before you run off to watch Fargo again, be sure to check out the trailer for Thin Ice, a Jill Sprecher-directed comedy that reunites a down-on-his-luck Greg Kinnear with his Little Miss Sunshine costar Alan Arkin.
Mickey Prohaska (Greg Kinnear) is a small-time insurance agent looking for a way to jump-start his business, reunite with his estranged wife (Lea Thompson) and escape the frigid Wisconsin weather. This self-proclaimed master of spin believes that salesmanship is about selling a story -- all he needs is a sucker willing to buy it. He hits pay dirt with a lonely retired farmer (Alan Arkin) who is sitting on something much bigger than an insurance commission. A (very) small fortune. His simple scheme to con the old man goes madcap when a violent locksmith (Billy Crudup) intervenes, putting the whole gang on some very, yep, thin ice.

ATM ...first trailer.
Quote:
The film centers on three friends: Josh Peck (The Wackness) , Alice Eve (She's Out of My League), and Brian Geraghty (The Hurt Locker), who make a routine trip at night to pick up some cash from an ATM vestibule, but become trapped when a murderous psychopath threatens to psychopathically murder them.
ATM will be released by IFC Midnight sometime later this year.
