AceShowbiz - The first trailer for action thriller "Mojave" has arrived. Starring Garrett Hedlund, the movie centers on a brilliant artist who ventures to a desert and attempts to end his life in order to escape his privileged existence.
The trailer starts with Thomas's (Hedlund) journey to the desert, where he experiences an accident and encounters a devilish character played by Oscar Isaac, Jack. When Thomas finally gets away from the desert, he thinks his misery ends, but it's not. It's just the beginning.
Jack starts to stalk Thomas because he wants to kill the artist and take everything he has, including his beautiful wife and daughter. "I want everything you got and I am going to kill you," Jack tells Thomas.
According to the official synopsis, "the game intensifies when Jack, while in murderous pursuit of Thomas, witnesses Thomas' accidental killing of an innocent man he has mistaken for Jack. The chase moves from the spectacular vistas of the American desert to a noir Los Angeles, where Jack discovers Thomas' notoriety as an artist and continues to remake his own identity in relentless pursuit of his victim, culminating in a vortex of criminality and brutality as Thomas emerges as an equally dangerous opponent."
William Monahan ("The Departed) produces and directs "Mojave" with his own script. The film will be available to DirecTV users on December 3 and will arrive in U.S. theaters on January 6.
