We previously gave you the first trailer for THE HOMESMAN, and now we’ve got this first very entertaining clip that might be dealing with some serious people, but with an underlying dark humour running through it.
This one is also something special as Tommy Lee Jones not only stars, but also also directs, produces, has written and makes the tea for this film that, on a basic level, follows a ‘claims’ jumper and a pioneer woman, who team up to escort three insane women from Nebraska to Iowa. Sounds like a lot of fun, right?
I’d highly recommend watching this clip that obviously takes place early on in the film, after Hilary Swank’s character Mary Bee Cuddy has saved George Briggs (Lee Jones) from certain death. The film is based on the novel by Glendon Sarthout and sets us up for a very interesting prospect that also stars Hailee Steinfeld (TRUE GRIT), William Fichtner, Meryl Streep and James Spader.
Did you also know that Tommy Lee Jones has also been nominated for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival for this role, watch it now:
THE HOMESMAN opens on limited release in the USA on October and has been doing the festival circuit. I think we’ll see it open here officially either later in the year, or early 2015.
