A new poster & US trailer have been released for Perdo Almodovar's The Skin I Live In, a dark & disturbing adaption of Thierry Jonquet's novel Tarantula. Antonio Banderas stars as the illusive and brilliant Dr Robert Ledgard playing God to create ‘the perfect skin’ through transgenesis; skin which can resist burning and fights disease.
