Columbia Pictures has dropped the new trailer for Gus Van Sant‘s Restless. It’s about a funeral crashing dropout (Henry Hooper) with an Asian ghost friend who falls for a girl (Mia Wasikowska). With a hook like that I don’t know how this project isn’t being considered a potential franchise. I also can’t seem to find Matthew McCoughnehey anywhere in the film. I’m pretty sure he has a clause in his contract with the Devil that states he must appear in all ghost love stories.

Restless floats into theaters January 28, 2011.

Check out the trailer after the jump…
