Aaron Eckhart Is a 'Model Citizen' in New Sci-Fi Thriller Trailer [Exclusive]

Aaron Eckhart has been an action workhorse in recent years, putting his brain and brawn on the line in films like Rumble Through the Dark, Muzzle, and Deep Water. Now, he's starring in a new science fiction thriller alongside Emmanuelle Chriqui. Collider is proud to exclusively announce that the duo will play the lead roles in Model Citizen, which will debut on digital and DVD next month. Collider is also exclusively debuting the movie's first action-packed trailer.

In the trailer, Eckhart plays Steven Bay, a farm laborer who's dealing with some nasty psychological issues. He's seeing a therapist, and reveals that he's constantly having dreams about dying violently, despite being completely unable to remember his past. He encounters Gretchen (Chriqui), a local woman, and there's an immediate spark between them; when an unruly bar patron tries to pick a fight with him on their date, Bay finds himself completely unable to fight back. Soon, he's confronted with even more mysteries: his house is full of hidden surveillance cameras, he never lived in the house he remembers growing up in, and he bears a striking resemblance to Jonathan Locke, an ex-cop who was imprisoned for multiple murders. Who is he? Who was he? And what will happen when he remembers who he used to be? You'll have to find out for yourself when Model Citizen is released digitally on November 3 by Warner Bros Home Entertainment. For the physical media enthusiasts, it will then hit DVD two weeks later, on November 17.
