The trailer or David Cronenberg’s upcoming “Eastern Promises” is online. Due in the early fall, the film reteams Cro with his “A History of Violence” star Viggo Mortensen as a ruthlessly bad-ass Russian mobster who will take a cheese grater to your knuckles just for fun. Naomi Watts plays a midwife, and French actor Vincent Casell (who also has a penchant for sociopath roles) plays yet another muderous fuck. It looks more thriller-ish and engaging then most cerebral Cronenberg films.
