Jason Zada heard our pleas and, come Jan. 8, will gift us with _The Forest_, a horror film starring _GoT_’s Natalie Dormer as a young woman who can read her identical twin sister’s mind. Which is obviously the best part of being identical twins, save for creating secret handshakes and pulling pranks on unsuspecting relatives. Unfortunately, as the film kicks off, said twin sister is missing, having disappeared into Japan’s Aokigahara Forest—which, in real life and in the film, is infamous for being a destination for lost souls. As Dormer sets out to find her troubled sibling in _The Forest_’s new trailer, she learns it’s also a terrifying destination for angry ghosts, vengeful demons and deep holes in the ground that contain haunted cameras. It’d be cool if this were a little cheerier, and we could watch Natalie dress up in matching outfits with her doppelgänger and solve low-stakes mysteries, but we’ll get there someday. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4057789/natalie-dormer-the-forest-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4057789/natalie-dormer-the-forest-trailer/"},"headline":"Natalie Dormer Can't Find Her Twin Sister In the Trailer for The Forest","datePublished":"2015-10-01T16:16:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T11:26:56.437Z","description":"The horror film stars Dormer as a woman searching for her sister in Japan's infamous Aokigahara Forest","url":"https://time.com/4057789/natalie-dormer-the-forest-trailer/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rachel Handler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/rachel-handler/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4057789/natalie-dormer-the-forest-trailer/","name":"Natalie Dormer Can't Find Her Twin Sister In the Trailer for The Forest"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"'Thrones' Catching Up With Book Plot Means Spoilers For All","description":"The day","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/j83INjRk/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-16T18:30:15.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/j83INjRk.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4057789/natalie-dormer-the-forest-trailer/","duration":"PT2M2S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4057789/natalie-dormer-the-forest-trailer/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
