If there is ever a film to watch in IMAX, then it will be this one from director Baltasar Kormákur (2 Guns, Contraband). The movie is produced by Working Title Films’ Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, and it’s quite a departure from their usual output. In fact, there’s a ton of talent behind this epic film, the trailer for which, has just landed.
William Nicholson (Gladiator) and Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire), wrote the screenplay for the film, which stars Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Robin Wright, Michael Kelly, Sam Worthington, Keira Knightley, Emily Watson and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Cross Creek Pictures’ Brian Oliver and Tyler Thompson, and Nicky Kentish Barnes and Kormákur also produce.
Here’s the full synopsis:
