Trailer (http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/the_manchurian_candidate/)
Millions of people have seen the 1962 thriller "The Manchurian Candidate." But if you believe Denzel Washington, who stars in the update in Frank Sinatra's old role, he's not one of them.
In the original, the mind-controlled assassin Raymond Shaw was the stepson of a presidential aspirant; this time, Shaw (Liev Schreiber, with Meryl Streep filling Angela Lansbury's shoes as his maniacal mama) is the candidate himself. The new movie, directed by Jonathan Demme, could strike chords in an election year.
