"You are looking for something most believe is extinct." Another new teaser trailer discovered via SlashFilm for an Australian film announced as one of the films premiering at the Toronto Film Festival. The Hunter, directed by Daniel Nettheim, stars Willem Dafoe as Martin David, a mercenary sent from Europe by a biotech company to the Tasmanian wilderness on a dramatic hunt for the last Tasmanian Tiger. The cast includes Sam Neill and Frances O'Connor. It's described as a "powerful psychological drama" and has some incredible cinematography.
