Ben Wheatley’s latest film, High-Rise, may have been screened at film festivals up and down the country, already seen by hundreds, but only now has it got its first trailer.

Based on the 1975 novel of the same name by J.G. Ballard, the film adaptation has Tom Hiddleston as a young doctor staying in a luxury high-rise with a seedy centre.

The teaser, just over a minute long, shows little of the story, not mentioning the film once. Instead, it acts as a promo for Anthony Royal’s (played by Jeremy Irons) architecture company, and it is entirely creepy. Watch below.

The clip gives some sense as to how the film’s 1975 setting will feel, with everything seemingly put through an Instagram filter while Hiddleston narrates the seductive living area.

After premiering at the London film festival earlier this year, and with little to no promotion in the meantime, High Rise finally has a release in the diary: March 2016.
