Trailer Tuesday: The Theory of Everything (2014)

Image: focusfeatures.com

The first Trailer Tuesday of October is here!
This week's pick is the widely anticipated The Theory of Everything.

The bio-pic centres on physicist Stephen Hawking and his relationship with his wife, Jane. The film is based on Jane Hawking's memoir Travelling to Infinity: My life with Stephen. It sees the beginnings of their relationship at Cambridge University, the impact of his success and the challenges of his diagnosis with Motor Neurone Disease at the age of 21.

Eddie Redmayne stars as Stephen and there is already Oscar talk of him winning Best Actor. Felicity Jones plays Jane and they are also joined by Emily Watson, David Thewlis and Charlie Cox. The world premiere, at the recent Toronto International Film Festival, was well received by critics:

Tremendously moving and inspirational - NEW YORK POST

To say the response here was rapturous would not be understating the enthusiasm I heard - not just from pundits but also Academy voters with whom I spoke. One told me he came in with high expectations for a quality movie and this one exceeded them. - DEADLINE, Pete Hammond

UK audiences will have to wait until January next year to see the film and will be released in the States on November 7th.

Trailer Thursday: The Book Thief (2013)

Due to a few busy days, Trailer Tuesday has been changed to Trailer Thursday for one week only! And Thursday’s recommended trailer is The Book Thief.

I have to confess that I have not read the book (it is in fact on my long list of ‘to read’ books). However, I was rather intrigued with this trailer. I am a big fan of Geoffrey Rush, which is always a bonus, and the story does look gripping.

The only thing I don’t like about the trailer itself is the cheesy American voice over with stupidly over 
dramatic phrases: “Words will inspire her... Courage will guide her...Hope will define her...”

Have you read the book? If so, what do you make of this trailer? Will it do the book justice?

The Book Thief will be released in the UK on the 31st January 2014.




Apologies for the short post, the regular Trailer Tuesday will return next week!
