Apple.com has posted a trailer for the remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1927 film ‘The Lodger’. The upcoming movie is directed by David Ondaatje and stars Alfred Molina, Simon Baker, Shane West, Donal Logue, Phillip Baker Hall, and Hope Davis.

The Lodger follows a grizzled detective on the trail of a ruthless killer intent on slaughtering prostitutes along West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip. It appears that the murderer’s grisly methods are identical to that of London’s 19th century psychopath Jack the Ripper - a relentless ¬ serial killer who was never caught by police. To make matters worse, the detective soon notices the parallels between the crimes.committed by the West Hollywood stalker and those of a serial murderer incarcerated years ago. Could the wrong man be behind bars?

‘The Lodger’ is scheduled for a December 31st release date. Click here to see the trailer from Apple.
