"For someone who doesn't feel pain, you sure know an awful lot about it." Indican Pictures has released an official trailer for a medical thriller titled Painless, the latest film written & directed by filmmaker Jordan Horowitz (not the same Jordan as the producer of La La Land). The film is about a scientist born with a rare condition that makes him unable to feel physical pain, and he becomes increasingly obsessed with finding a cure. This isn't the only film about someone with this condition - a Russian film named Jumpman follows a boy with the same rare disease. Joey Klein (from TV's "12 Monkeys" and "This Life") stars in this, along with Evalena Marie, Kip Gilman, Pascal Yen-Pfister, Tommie Sox, and Nick Latrenta. Yes it does look a bit cliche and campy, but still seems like an intriguing film about obsession and the human condition.
Here's the first official trailer (+ two posters) for Jordan Horowitz's Painless, direct from YouTube:
Born with a rare condition that leaves him alienated and unable to feel physical pain, Henry Long (Joey Klein) becomes obsessed with finding a cure. His need for normalcy leads him down a dark path where he must decide if finding a cure is worth paying the ultimate price. Painless is both written and directed by American filmmaker Jordan Horowitz, making his second feature film after Wonder… a few years back and the documentary Angel of Nanjing, along with a number of short films. Visit his official website. This premiered at the Cinequest Film Festival last year, and also played at a bunch of other festivals. Indican will open Horowitz's Painless in select theaters starting September 21st, then VOD starting on October 2nd.
