Lionsgate have released a trailer for Expired, also known as Loveland, which releases in Australia on February 10.

It's an ozzie film, with an ozzie writer / director and cast, including Ryan Kwanten of True Blood and Hugo Weaving of The Matrix and Lord of the Rings, and was filmed in part in Queensland's Brisbane and Gold Coast.

Synopsis:

As Jack (Ryan Kwanten) works as a hitman, his lonely life is altered by two strangers—one a club singer, the other a mysterious scientist (Hugo Weaving). Jack and the singer fall in love, but as their relationship grows stronger, Jack grows physically weaker, unable to assassinate his targets. But then the scientist discovers the shocking reasons behind Jack's deadly affliction…

A new spin on the old succubus story? Seemingly not.

Upon discovering true, human love with a April, a Karaoke geisha (a new to international audiences Jillian Nguyen, in her leading-lady debut), that love is quickly lost as Jack discovers he’s infected with a mysterious illness by his employers that causes his body to deteriorate — and he’s being pursued by robotic operatives. His only ally — or is he — is Dr. Bergman (Weaving) with the answers to the origins of his illness . . . and other mysteries.

So there's depth and layers.

Expired releases in Australia on February 10 according to both The Guardian and IMDb.com and The Guardian specifically says "in cinemas" but neither Hoyts nor several other sites we checked list it.
