The first trailer for Thelomeris, a Hungarian movie about a spooky clockworks factory that churns out endless product made by slave labor, offers a dark look at the indie sci-fi film’s steampunk aesthetic.

The clip showcases the CGI handiwork of directorBalazs Hatvani, who began crafting the movie’s gloomy urban vistas in 2008.Thelomeris castsStar Wars vet Mark Hamill, who also serves as a creative consultant on the film, as a stranger who challenges a factory boss to change his ruthless ways.

Several Eastern European artists are incorporating steampunk aesthetics into their work these days. Earlier this summer, young Hungarian filmmaker Emil Goodman created flying-machine short filmHenry Waltz, while Romanian authors banded together to produce an anthology ofsteampunk literature.

Thelomeris, fromTrickorn Productions, is currently in post-production.
