Lars Von Trier’s upcoming end of the world flick Melancholia is sure to bring bright rays of sunshine and warmth to the hearts of those who just can’t wait until this whole shit-house goes up in flames, and to kick off the fuzzies, we’ve got your first look at Kirsten Dunst!

Melancholia stars John Hurt, Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg (Antichrist), Kiefer Sutherland (Lost Boys, Mirrors), Charlotte Rampling (Angel Heart), Alexander Skarsgard (“True Blood”), Stellan Skarsgard (Exorcist: The Beginning), and Udo Kier (Suspiria).

The film’s title refers to Planet Melancholia, an enormous planet that looms threateningly close to Earth. “No more happy endings!” commented Lars von Trier in an earlier story. He is directing from his own screenplay.

Check out the trailer for Melancholia, which has been dubbed “a beautiful movie about the end of the world” along with the new eye candy courtesy of Empire Online below.
