After a decade spent making more headlines for his fantasy work than anything set in our universe, Orlando Bloom is returning to our screens later this year with a dark turn in The Good Doctor.

I almost looked over this one until I read the plot, so please do not let the presence of Bloom deter you at first. If you read UTG often, you know we have an ongoing interest with thinks a bit off the beaten path in terms of plot, and The Good Doctor does not disappoint:

Martin Blake (Orlando Bloom) is an ambitious but anxious young doctor, eager to impress his superiors and colleagues: Chief Resident Waylans (Rob Morrow), self-assured fellow intern Dan (Troy Garity) and no-nonsense nurse Theresa (Taraji P. Henson). But things are not going Martin’s way and he can’t seem to shake off his insecurities. When 18-year-old patient Diane (Riley Keough) is admitted for a kidney infection, Martin steps in, getting the much-needed boost of self-esteem he craves. But things take a dark turn as his enthusiasm begins to become an obsession.

Creepy, right? Click past the jump to view the first official trailer.

Magnolia Pictures has The Good Doctor scheduled to hit iTunes on July 27 before going theatrical on August 31.
