Hypnotic: Exclusive Trailer for Ben Affleck Action-Thriller

IGN has the exclusive trailer debut for the new action-thriller Hypnotic from director Robert Rodriguez (Alita: Battle Angel, Sin City) and starring Ben Affleck. Rodriguez also joined us for an exclusive Q&A with fans over on IGN’s YouTube page.

So what exactly is Hypnotic about?

“Determined to find his missing daughter, Austin detective Danny Rourke instead finds himself spiraling down a rabbit hole while investigating a series of reality-bending bank robberies where he will ultimately call into question his most basic assumptions about everything and everyone in his world,” according to the official plot synopsis.

“Aided by Diana Cruz, an unnervingly gifted psychic, Rourke simultaneously pursues and is pursued by a lethal specter – the one man he believes holds the key to finding the missing girl – only to discover more than he ever bargained for.”

In addition to Ben Affleck as Rourke, Hypnotic’s ensemble cast includes Alice Braga (Predators, The Suicide Squad) as Diana Cruz; JD Pardo (Mayans M.C.) as Rourke’s partner, Nicks; Hala Finley (Paradise Highway) as his missing daughter, Minnie; Dayo Okeniyi (Rise) as tech wiz cum conspiracy theorist, River; Jeff Fahey (Lost) as Carl; Jackie Earle Haley (Alita: Battle Angel) as the reclusive expat Jeremiah, and William Fichtner (The Dark Knight) as the enigmatic figure Rourke pursues to unravel the mystery behind it all.

Hypnotic is produced by Mark Gill, Guy Botham, Lisa Ellzey, Jeff Robinov p.g.a, John Graham, Racer Max and Robert Rodriguez p.g.a.. The executive producers are: James Portolese, Joshua Throne, Maitreya Yasuda, Crystal Bourbeau, Vincent Bruzzese, Beth Bruckner O’Brien, Peter Touche, Christelle Conan, Gareth West, Chris Milburn, Artur Galstian, Vahan Yepremyan, Walter Josten, Patrick Josten and Jordan Wagner.
