The first trailer for The Hunter has premiered and we’ll give it this much: It is a refreshingly original idea for a film. Willem Dafoe plays a mercenary who is the best at what he does. His latest contract has him flying to the jungles of Tasmania in search of a beast that is supposedly extinct. Dafoe’s charge is to bring the animal back alive so the mysterious corporation that hired him can harness its DNA.
