Trailer For ROOM Starring Brie Larson & Jacob Tremblay
A24 has released the first full-length trailer for Lenny Abrahamson’s (Frank) upcoming drama ROOM. Based on the award-winning global bestseller by Emma Donoghue, Room centers on Joy Newsome, AKA “Ma”, a young woman who is being held captive with her five-year-old son in a garden shed.
Room premiered to rave reviews at last weekend’s Telluride Film Festival, with both Larson and Tremblay’s performances drawing particular praise. I’m really looking forward to seeing this at TIFF next week. Joan Allen and William H. Macy also star. Room will be opening in a limited release on October 16, 2015, before being expanding nationwide on November 6, 2015. (Song played in the trailer is MS MR – All Things Lost).
ROOM tells the extraordinary story of Jack, a spirited 5 year-old who is looked after by his loving and devoted Ma. Like any good mother, Ma dedicates herself to keeping Jack happy and safe, nurturing him with warmth and love and doing typical things like playing games and telling stories. Their life, however, is anything but typical—they are trapped—confined to a windowless, 10-by-10-foot space, which Ma has euphemistically named “Room.” Ma has created a whole universe for Jack within Room, and she will stop at nothing to ensure that, even in this treacherous environment, Jack is able to live a complete and fulfilling life. But as Jack’s curiosity about their situation grows, and Ma’s resilience reaches its breaking point, they enact a risky plan to escape, ultimately bringing them face-to-face with what may turn out to be the scariest thing yet: the real world.
