Another film getting ready to have its premiere at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival is the new one from Brian De Palma, Passion, starring Rachel McAdams, Noomi Rapace, Karoline Herfurth, and Paul Anderson.

Check out the first stills and trailer for the flick, which is said to be in the vein of Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct, below.

Synopsis
Passion tells the story of a deadly power struggle between two women in the dog-eat-dog world of international business. Christine (McAdams) possesses the natural elegance and casual ease associated with one who has a healthy relationship with money and power. Innocent, lovely, and easily exploited, her admiring protégé, Isabelle (Rapace), is full of cutting-edge ideas that Christine has no qualms about stealing. They’re on the same team, after all… But when Isabelle falls into bed with one of Christine’s lovers, war breaks out.
