“The Surrogate” Sundance film trailer released

The trailer for the Sundance hit acquired by Fox Searchlight hit the web. The film features John Hawkes as a paralyzed man who is determined to lose his virginity.

Helen Hunt and William H. Macy co-star. Screened at Sundance as The Surrogate and based on a true story, the movie written and directed by Ben Lewin is slated to open October 26.

The film is based on the life of the late self-described poet/journalist Mark O’Brien, whose physical incapacities required him to write by tapping on keys with a long stick he held in his mouth.
