For any big Louis Theroux fans out there (i.e. anyone who has ever watched one of his glorious documentaries), this is surely the holy grail.

The man who has made a career out of investigating mysterious, obscure and controversial pockets of society is releasing a full-length feature film about the Church of Scientology -- and from the looks of the trailer, it will be every bit as funny as it is eerie.

In the clip above, Theroux gets followed by mysterious cars, gets filmed by mysterious men who lurk silently with video cameras, and gets yelled at by a mysterious (and very angry) woman.

Luckily, though, none of it seems to even remotely faze him.

My Scientology Movie was first shown at last year's London Film Festival. It will be released in select cinemas in the UK on Oct. 7.
