EXCLUSIVE: Deadline has an exclusive trailer for The Way We Speak, a new indie starring Better Call Saul‘s Patrick Fabian.
Billed as an allegory about America’s fractured politics and culture, the film follows Simon (Fabian), an up-and-coming writer whose world is turned upside down when his best friend and debate opponent suffers a fatal heart attack. Simon refuses to leave the spotlight at an annual thought-leader summit, leading to an obsession with his new opponent and a growing rift with his ailing wife, Claire (Diana Coconubo).
Ian Ebright (From the Sky) directed from his script and produced through his company Broken Telegraph, with Kailey Rhodes (Black Pool), Ayanna Berkshire (Twilight) and Lowell Deo (Z Nation) rounding out the cast. Watch the trailer below.

Out of Darkness
Bleecker Street
Also debuting a new trailer this week was Bleecker Street‘s Out of Darkness, a survival horror pic directed by Andrew Cumming from a script by Ruth Greenberg that hits theaters February 9th.
In the film set 45,000 years ago, a small boat reaches the shores of a raw and desolate landscape. A group of six have struggled across the narrow sea to find a new home. They are desperate and starving, and must first find shelter, striking out across the tundra wastes towards the distant mountains that promise the abundant caves they need to survive. But when night falls, anticipation turns to fear and doubt as they realize they are not alone. Terrifying sounds suggest something monstrous at large in this landscape, something that could kill or steal them away. As relationships in the group fracture, the determination of one young woman reveals the terrible actions taken to survive.
Out of Darkness‘s cast includes Safia Oakley-Green, Kit Young, Chuku Modu, Iola Evans, Arno Lüning and Luna Mwezi. Oliver Kassman produced alongside co-producer Wendy Griffin and EPs David Kaplan and Sam Intili. Check out the trailer for the pic below.
