After the jump, you can watch the first trailer for A Dangerous Method, David Cronenberg’s latest (and first since Eastern Promises in 2007), starring Viggo Mortensen as Sigmund Freud, Michael F. Assbender as Carl Jung, and Keira Knightley as some crazy slut Jung’s banging. It has far less Freud snorting tons of coke and screaming about his penis than I hoped for (HISTORICALLY ACCURATE!), but… well, there’s no happy ending for that sentence. I was disappointed.
Starring Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley, Vincent Cassel and Sarah Gadon and based on the play by Christopher Hampton, the film centers on the conflict between Sigmund Freud (Mortensen) and his pupil Dr. Jung (Fassbender). Seduced by the challenge of an impossible case, the driven Dr. Jung takes the unbalanced yet beautiful Sabina Spielrein (Knightley) as his patient. Jung’s weapon is the method of his master and both men fall under Sabina’s spell.
Okay, I’m interested. Cronenberg is one of those directors who does some things really well and other things not so much (fight scenes for instance), but he’s almost always weird enough to be intriguing. I just hope he’s strong enough to keep a lid on Keira Knightley. There aren’t many insane asylum movies I can stand, because the minute you give an actor the greenlight to scream and cry and pull their hair out, it’s like feeding a dog table scraps. Those spazzy retards will never stop hamming it up. Your dad never paid attention to you, we get it.
Sidenote: Is Vincent Cassel ever NOT a creepy molester?

I’m confused. Which one gives her the dose of Thorazine and which one buggers her while the other watches?
What?! I thought it was supposed to be a love story!
What of the knife fight in Eastern Promises? Shit was ballsy, xxtreme, well edited…
Saying “Keira Knightley Gets Her Ass Kicked…” implies that she actually has an ass.
I don’t care if they’re German…that may be the most British screencap of all time
Sometimes a cigar is just Keira Knightley facing sideways.
I just learned Keira Knightley being tortured looks just like Sarah Jessica Parker giggling
Least successful legal defense: “Sometimes you have to do something unforgivable just to go on living.”
In Never Let Me Go, there’s a sex scene between Keira and Scarfield. It was like watching two haunted house skeletons knocking into each other in a strong wind.
Carl Jung happens upon a psychological insight for the ages: crazy chicks are the best in the sack.
It’s really the story of the first ever porno, Jung Sluts. Shortly followed by the sequel, Hung Like Jung.
woah woah woah, does KK say “if you want to take me in the shitter I’ll be in that building there” ? that’s hot
I love Cronenberg. I cant help it.
Better be a dong-out fight scene. That’s when his fight scenes are at their best.
Uh, how do I get out of this sentence?
Ugh, Cronenberg love or no, this looks dull. Vincent C. Assel (say that fast) better be as good as always.
This is a total ripoff of my as-yet-unproduced script, Pavlov’s Dong.
She’s looking very anorexic; Vienna sausages would probably do her some good.
History of Violence was such a ruinously inept pile of shit it actually made me angry.
Viggo thunder fucking Maria on the stairs in the cheerleader getup was cool. I should have just stopped there. (I did, but only to toss my nutrag in the trash)
Some skeevy shrink trying to bang his loco patient? I thought they cancelled In Treatment.
davidnowacki, you’ve forgotten the seminal (haha) masterpiece of those first porno’s, Jung’s Bung Adventures 1.
Definitely looking forward to this one. It’s kind of like Secretary, but with a prettier setting and enough historical context so you can feel like you’re learning something while you wait for the sex scenes.
What are the odds that everybody on set completely gave up on Keira Knightley having a Russian accent halfway through the movie? Getting her to stretch her acting is like teaching a monkey sign language, except impossible.
Cassel wasn’t a creepy molester in Irreversible. In fact, he attacked one and promptly got his arm broken as a result.
Side note: I love me some Cronenberrg but his movies seem to be bordering on normal, everyday fare that any director could do. Where’s the cancer guns and pussy orifices?
