The film focuses on hedonism and celebrity
The trailer itself is disorientating and gives little of the highly guarded plot away.
"All those years living the life of someone I didn’t even know," Christian Bale says to open the trailer.
The following two-minutes feature shots depicting parties, sex and general debauchery overlaid with mysterious sentences such as "no one cares about reality anymore," "you gave me piece, joy, love" and "find your way, from darkness to light."
Cate Blanchett also stars in the film
Natalie Portman plans another love interest
Cate Blanchett appears to play Rick's love interest from his former life, as she asks: "You're different these days, what's going on with you?"
Natalie Portman also features as one of many women Rick is associated with, although it is unclear just who she will play.
The film is set to receive its world premiere as part of the competition at the 2015 Berlin film festival, which takes place in February.
