Trailer For ‘The Railway Man’ Starring Colin Firth & Nicole Kidman
Lionsgate has released the first international trailer for director Jonathan Teplitzky’s upcoming drama The Railway Man. Based on Eric Lomax’s best selling memoir, the film centers on a British soldier in World War II who endured gruelling conditions as a forced labourer on the Thailand Death Railway after being captured by Japanese troops. Jeremy Irvine, Stellan Skarsgard and Hiroyuki Sanada also star. The film currently has no North American release date.
Based on his best-selling memoir, The Railway Man tells the extraordinary and epic true story of Eric Lomax, a British Army officer who is tormented as a prisoner of war at a Japanese labour camp during World War II. Decades later, Lomax discovers that the Japanese interpreter he holds responsible for much of his treatment is still alive and sets out to confront him, and his haunting past. Directed by Jonathan Teplitzky, and starring Academy Award-winner Colin Firth, Jeremy Irvine, and Academy Award-winner Nicole Kidman, the film is a powerful tale of survival, love and redemption.
