I’ll be honest I completely forgot about Akiva Goldsman‘s WINTER’S TALE. When I watched the trailer I went through this emotional rollercoaster, and after everything I’m still not sure how I feel.
At first I was intrigued, then I was surprised to see Colin Farrell and Russell Crowe playing good against evil. Sometime during the middle I got a little confused and wondered if this was meant to be a chick flick. By the end, I was verklempt. I don’t know what that trailer did to me but I need to know more. “Nobody makes me feel my own feelings! Nobody!”
“Is it possible to love someone so completely that they simply can’t die?”
Synopsis:
Set in a mythic New York City and spanning more than a century, “Winter’s Tale” is a story of miracles, crossed destinies, and the age-old battle between good and evil. The film stars Colin Farrell (“Total Recall”), Jessica Brown Findlay (TV’s “Downton Abbey”), and Oscar® winners Jennifer Connelly (“A Beautiful Mind”), William Hurt (“Kiss of the Spider Woman”), Eva Marie Saint (“On the Waterfront”) and Russell Crowe (“Gladiator”). “Winter’s Tale” also introduces young newcomers Ripley Sobo and Mckayla Twiggs (both from Broadway’s “Once”). The film marks the directorial debut of Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (“A Beautiful Mind”), who also wrote the screenplay, based on the acclaimed novel by Mark Helprin.
WINTER’S TALE hits theaters on, appropriately enough, Valentine’s Day 2014.
