Ethan Hawke and John Travolta seem to be having a blast in this new trailer for Ti West’s In a Valley of Violence. And on top of that, Travolta looks to have actual human skin in this film in lieu of that weird wax sheen he’s been rocking for a long time.
Here’s the trailer:
And the synopsis, which also doesn’t come out and tell us what the trailer kinda does… the dog dies. Not sure I can handle that:
A mysterious stranger and a random act of violence drag a town of misfits and nitwits into the bloody crosshairs of revenge.
In a Valley of Violence debuted at SXSW this past March, and was met with pretty solid word of mouth. Travolta might… might… be in the middle of an unlikely career renaissance, and the always steady brilliance of Ethan Hawke is enough to sell me on the film. Not to mention it’s a Western. We need more Westerns.
Still, the inevitable dog murder is already upsetting me.
In a Valley of Violence is set for an October 21 release.
