A new trailer has arrived online for sci-fi fantasy, The Giver, in which Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges butt heads in a dystopian future.
Brenton Thwaites stars as a young man living in a colourless "utopia", in which free will has been done away with by Streep's fearless leader, in favour of a life of bland conformity.
However, when our hero becomes "the Receiver of Memory", thanks to Bridges' "Giver", he starts to uncover some dark secrets behind the seemingly ideal community.
Take a look at the new trailer, below…

Adapted from Lois Lowry's novel, directed by Philip Noyce and co-starring Katie Holmes, Alexander Skarsgard and Taylor Swift, The Giver will open in the US on 15 August 2014, with a UK date to be confirmed.
