Last month, we gave you a peek at the red-band teaser for David Cronenberg’s adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel, Cosmopolis.

A Dangerous Method is their third film together, and while Eastern Promises was solid but minor Cronenberg, this looks like the master in full-on kink mode. Mortensen plays Freud, while Michael Fassbender plays Carl Jung, who obviously gets in over his head with paitent Keira Knightley. Check out the trailer…
