Peter Weir doesn’t make that many movies, but when he does they’re nearly always worth a look. Weir’s first flick since 2003’s Master & Commander is The Way Back, starring Colin Farrell, Ed Harris, Saorise Ronan and Jim Sturgess. It’s a fast based tale of a group of soldiers who escaped from a Siberian gulag in 1940 and try to make their way home across some of the harshest terrain on Earth. The trailer certainly makes it look exciting, and having Weir’s name on the credits ensures it’s one to watch out for. The film is hoping to be in contention for Oscars, so expect it to hit the UK early next year.
