Back in October 2010, a mock trailer for Clown was released by Jon Watts and Christopher D. Ford that featured Eli Roth’s name, even though he was unaware of the trailer’s creation. Eventually, this got the attention of Roth, who came on board as a producer to give these guys the opportunity to make a full feature out of their concept.

Although we reported that the movie was filming last year, we haven't heard much since. However, it looks like the movie is finally ready to show off, as the first official trailer has just been released.

This trailer is originally from The Film Stage, who had the following details:

"Directed by Jon Watts, the film stars Andy Powers as a father who puts on a clown costume for his son’s birthday, but a curse means he can’t take it off and, well, things go downhill from there. Also starring Laura Allen and Peter Stormare, it looks to contain some fairly haunting imagery..."

There's no release date yet, but we'll let Daily Dead readers know as soon as anything is announced. We've also included the mock trailer for those that missed it below.
