Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for Clint Eastwood’s new film, Hereafter.   The script from Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon) tells the story of three people who are haunted by mortality in different ways.  The trailer at first made me think that the movie was going to be about a reluctant psychic (played by Matt Damon) living in a small town, but then crazy stuff started to happen halfway through involving drowning, a tidal wave, and explosions.  Now, I don’t really know what exactly Hereafter is going to be about, but it certainly looks interesting and intense.

Hit the jump for the trailer along with a plot synopsis.

The official synopsis:

Hereafter tells the story of three people who are haunted by mortality in different ways. Matt Damon stars as George, a blue–collar American who has a special connection to the afterlife. On the other side of the world, Marie (Cécile de France), a French journalist, has a near–death experience that shakes her reality. And when Marcus (Frankie/George McLaren), a London schoolboy, loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers. Each on a path in search of the truth, their lives will intersect, forever changed by what they believe might—or must—exist in the hereafter.
