Smashing new poster and trailer for ACCIDENTS HAPPEN!

This one has been making the international festival rounds for a while, but now Andrew Lancaster's darkly charming debut Accidents Happen is readying to open in Australia we're starting to see some promotional material - beyond the beautiful teaser trailer released last year.

Here we have the new poster, featuring a very startled looking Geena Davis, possibly surprised that her movie career is back on track after a long break, and co-stars Harrison Gilbertson and Harry Cook. Props to Ahmed Salama for the poster design.

Below is the trailer, which pitches the film pretty close to what it is - a black comedy with some intensely dark melodramatic moments, and lots of slow-motion. Zack Snyder would be proud.

Accidents Happen, which was actually shot in Sydney, Australia (as a stand in for Connecticut) is the story of an accident-prone kid, Billy Conway (Gilbertson) and his family, led by comically abusive matriarch Gloria (Davis).
