Danny Boyle, Oscar-winning director of "Slumdog Millionaire," has a new film which whirls around an art world drama. "Trance" is his intense story about an art auctioneer who enlists a hypnotherapist to help find a painting missing since a botched robbery.

The trailer for the film, which debuts in the U.K. on March 27, shows a twisty plot with James McAvoy (from X-Men) as the art auctioneer and the hypnotherapist played by Rosario Dawson. 

French actor Vincent Cassel is the gangster behind it all.

The U.S. release date has not been set.
