George Clooney and Matt Damon's Suburbicon trailer is the brutal, chilling and hilarious family comedy that we never knew we wanted.

Clooney and Damon reunite with Joel and Ethan Coen for a darkly comic thriller that is probably most easily described as 'A Serious Man meets The Sopranos'.

Life seems swell for family man Gardner Lodge… until his secret mob debts catch up with him and lead to the brutal death of his wife.

A deadly mob hit would probably be traumatic enough for most men to throw in the towel and pay, but not Gardner. Instead, he brings the fight to the crooks threatening his family (all while struggling to keep his shattered glasses together).

George Clooney's latest directorial project clearly makes the most of its script from the Coen brothers, including recruiting some of their favourite actors.

Coen veterans appearing in Suburbicon include Damon (True Grit), Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men), Academy Award winner Julianne Moore (The Big Lebowski) and Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis) as the sleaziest mobster ever.

This all-star creative team will be bringing Suburbicon to the 74th Venice International Film Festival next month, and will also screen at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

Once it's finished the festival circuit, Suburbicon will arrive in the US first on Friday, October 27 before hitting UK cinemas on Friday, November 24.
