With the production of Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, I always had one concern: the role of Oskar Schell. The way he's written in the book, with all of his quirks, it seems like it would take someone really special to play the role. Instead of getting an experienced child actor, they decided to pick up Thomas Horn, who won on Teen Jeopardy. This trailer has helped calm and relax me. Any worries are gone, and I expect this film to be absolutely amazing in every way. The film is in good hands as far as the director goes, as Stephen Daldry has been nominated for Best Director with each of his other three films: Billy Elliot, The Hours, and The Reader. I expect he'll earn another nomination for Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.
After the break, check out the new trailer and the synopsis if you don't really know what it is. The film also stars Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Max von Sydow, Viola Davis, Jeffrey Wright, and John Goodman. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close has a limited release for December 25th, and will have an extended release January 20th, 2012.
Based on the novel written by Jonathan Safran Foer. Oskar (Thomas Horn) is convinced that his father (Tom Hanks), who died in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, has left a final message for him hidden somewhere in the city. Feeling disconnected from his grieving mother (Sandra Bullock) and driven by a relentlessly active mind that refuses to believe in things that can’t be observed, Oskar begins searching New York City for the lock that fits a mysterious key he found in his father’s closet. His journey through the five boroughs takes him beyond his own loss to a greater understanding of the observable world around him.
