First trailer for The Vanishing starring Gerard Butler, Peter Mullan and Connor Swindells

November 21, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

The first trailer has arrived online for the psychological thriller The Vanishing. Formerly titled Keepers, the film is inspired by the true events of the Flannan Isles Mystery of 1900 and sees Kristoffer Nyholm (The Killing) directing a cast that includes Gerard Butler (Hunter Killer), Peter Mullan (Ozark) and Connor Swindells (VS.); watch it here…

On an uninhabited island 20 miles from the rugged Scottish coast, three lighthouse keepers arrive for their 6 week shift. As Thomas (Peter Mullan), James (Gerard Butler) and Donald (Joe Alwyn) settle into their normal quiet routine, something unexpected, potentially life-changing occurs – they stumble upon gold. Where did it come from? Who does it belong to? A boat appears in the distance that might hold the answer to these questions…

What follows is a tense battle for survival, fed by isolation, paranoia and greed, leading three honest men down a path to destruction.
