Akiva Goldsman has an Oscar for writing A Beautiful Mind and also penned the script for the likes of The Da Vinci Code, I Am Legend and I Robot. Now he’s turned director with Winter’s Tale, which stars Colin Farrell, Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and Downton Abbeys Jessica Brown Findlay.
Now the first trailer has arrived.
Here’s the rather cryptic synopsis: ‘Set in a mythic New York City and spanning more than a century, “Winters Tale is a story of miracles, crossed destinies, and the age-old battle between good and evil. The film stars Colin Farrell (“Total Recall), Jessica Brown Findlay (TVs “Downton Abbey), and Oscar® winners Jennifer Connelly (“A Beautiful Mind), William Hurt (“Kiss of the Spider Woman), Eva Marie Saint (“On the Waterfront) and Russell Crowe (“Gladiator). “Winters Tale also introduces young newcomers Ripley Sobo and Mckayla Twiggs (both from Broadways “Once). The film marks the directorial debut of Academy Award-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (“A Beautiful Mind), who also wrote the screenplay, based on the acclaimed novel by Mark Helprin.’
It’ll be in cinemas next year.
