In this place… alone against nature, one man will be pushed to the edge. That’s enough of the description for us to check out the new trailer and the poster for the upcoming The Hunter project.
Movie comes from director Daniel Nettheim and stars Willem Dafoe as Martin, a skilled and ruthless mercenary sent into the Tasmanian wilderness on a hunt for a tiger believed to be extinct.
As you can see from this trailer, Martin gets hired by an anonymous company that wants the tiger’s genetic material.
So, Martin arrives in Tasmania posing as a scientist and proceeds to set up base camp at a broken-down farmhouse, where he stays with a family whose father has gone missing.
Usually a loner, he becomes increasingly close to the family; however, as his attachment to the family grows, Martin is led down a path of unforeseen dangers, complicating his deadly mission.
Sounds and looks like a quite intense adventure, so we’re looking forward to April 6th, 2012 theatrical release of The Hunter”
The rest of the cast includes Sam Neill, Frances O’Connor, Morgana Davies, Jacek Koman, Dan Wyllie, Sullivan Stapleton, John Brumpton, Callan Mulvey and Finn Woodlock.

Willem Defoe is probably one of the most underrated actors now- although he had so many great roles, he tends to be forgotten much too often. This film actually looks really interesting, I hope it won’t disappoint us.
