MOVIE TRAILER: War Horse

Steven Spielberg may have had his hands all over Super 8, but he actually has his own film coming this year as well. Starring Emily Watson, David Thewlis, and Peter Mullan, War Horse is the big screen adaptation of Michael Morpurgo‘s World War I novel of the same name. Checkout the first official trailer below, followed by the full plot summary. War Horse opens December 28 (just in time for awards season).

THE PLOT: From director Steven Spielberg comes “War Horse,” an epic adventure for audiences of all ages. Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land.

The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse—an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure.
