White Bird In A Blizzard serves as the third film to star Shailene Woodley in the last year. It is also the third adaptation the former Secret Life Of The American Teenager star has appeared in during that same time. I’m not sure if she likes books, or if she feels the stories in them are better told on the silver screen, but either way, there is a new film on the way that is sure to give all the feels.
Kat Connors (Shailene Woodley) is 17 years old when her perfect homemaker mother, Eve (Eva Green), a beautiful, enigmatic, and haunted woman, disappears – just as Kat is discovering and relishing her newfound sexuality. Having lived for so long in a stifled, emotionally repressed household, she barely registers her mother’s absence and certainly doesn’t blame her doormat of a father, Brock, (Christopher Meloni) for the loss. In fact, it’s almost a relief. But as time passes, Kat begins to come to grips with how deeply Eve’s disappearance has affected her. Returning home on a break from college, she finds herself confronted with the truth about her mother’s departure, and her own denial about the events surrounding it. You can view the film’s first trailer, which arrived online this afternoon, below:
I know people go back and forth about whether or not Woodley possesses the kind of talent to warrant the amount of attention she has received, but this story looks strong so far. I think Meloni steals the trailer, but that’s only because he has one of the best cry faces of all time. Need a second chance to take it in? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered:
Magnolia Pictures will release White Bird In A Blizzard via OnDemand September 25, 2014 and in theaters October 24, 2014. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on the trailer.
