Casey Affleck takes the rap for Rooney Mara in the trailer for Ain’t Them Bodies Saints

Finally after all the hype, we have our first trailer for AIN’T THEM BODIES SAINTS.

The drama written and directed by David Lowery stars Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara as a couple who spend their time as outlaws to one day have it finally all come crashing down. The trailer for the film does not disappoint in the slightest. Not only that, but some of the shots shown are quite beautiful. Can’t wait to see the flick, and where the cinematic road takes Mr. Lowery.

Synopsis: Set against the backdrop of 1970’s Texas Hill Country, Bob Muldoon (Casey Affleck) and Ruth Guthrie (Rooney Mara), an impassioned young outlaw couple on an extended crime spree, are finally apprehended by lawmen after a shootout in the Texas hills. Although Ruth wounds a local officer, Bob takes the blame. But four years later, Bob escapes from prison and sets out to find Ruth and their daughter, born during his incarceration.

AIN’T THEM BODIES SAINTS will release in theaters on August 16, 2013.
