Well, for one thing, it appears to be a big, A-list return to Hollywood’s ’80s and ’90s fascination with sexy neo-noir thrillers. But what does it all mean when taken together?

The actual truth? We’ve viewed the two trailers for this film (the first dropped to surprisingly little attention in June) multiple times, and we’re still not entirely sure what, exactly, this movie is about, if anything at all. “Wouldn’t it be funny if the truth was that nobody knows anything?” “They like to say everybody knows everything,” says Matthew McConaughey in the trailer for Serenity, his upcoming film with Anne Hathaway.
