New Trailer for THE IMPOSSIBLE Starring Ewan McGregor & Naomi Watts
Warning: the following trailer will make you sob. Summit Entertainment has released a theatrical trailer for J.A. Bayona’s (The Orphanage) upcoming drama THE IMPOSSIBLE starring Ewan McGregor & Naomi Watts. The film is a “grueling survival story about a married couple searching for their missing children and each other in the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.”
The trailer makes it clear that the film is about the journey and not the end result. It looks like heartbreaking but ultimately beautiful and moving account of human compassion in the face of unimaginable tragedy. The Impossible is an official selection at the Toronto International Film Festival next month and opens in theaters on December 21st. Tom Holland, Samuel Joslin, and Oaklee Pendergast co-star. Thanks to Apple for the trailer.
Maria (Naomi Watts), Henry (Ewan McGregor) and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand, looking forward to a few days in tropical paradise. But on the morning of December 26th, as the family relaxes around the pool after their Christmas festivities the night before, a terrifying roar rises up from the center of the earth. As Maria freezes in fear, a huge wall of black water races across the hotel grounds toward her. Based on a true story, THE IMPOSSIBLE is the unforgettable account of a family caught, with tens of thousands of strangers, in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time. But the true-life terror is tempered by the unexpected displays of compassion, courage and simple kindness that Maria and her family encounter during the darkest hours of their lives. Both epic and intimate, devastating and uplifting, THE IMPOSSIBLE is a journey to the core of the human heart.
