The Trust Trailer Lets You Know What David Schwimmer Has Been Up To Recently

At the TCA panel for the new ABC show Mr. Sunshine, a television reporter without Google decided to ask star Matthew Perry what his former Friend David Schwimmer was doing: "All the Friends are cooking along pretty well these days except it seems for David Schwimmer. We don't see him. Where is he?" Directing a moody familial drama that will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, that's where!

Schwimmer's Trust -- not a remake of the wonderful Hal Hartley film -- stars Clive Owen and Catherine Keener as the loving parents to a teenage daughter in an idyllic suburban neighborhood. Things appear to be going just fine until the boy their daughter has been chatting with online turns out to be a sexual predator hellbent on ruining lives. Fire up the sirens and stomach-churning scenes of heartbreak, this one is going to get ugly.

The second half of the 90-second trailer dissolves into your basic revenge story -- Owen gets his Liam Neeson-in-Taken on, while Keener fades into the background like some wall accent purchased at Target -- but that Schwimmer appears to go there makes it stand out despite the fact that it looks like some amalgam of Hard Candy, Reservation Road and In the Bedroom. No offense, but last time I checked, you didn't see any of the other Friends attempting Oscar-bait.

VERDICT: Schwimmer's doing just fine.
