The journey will change her forever. I just saw this completely fresh trailer for the upcoming drama The Girl, and I must say that Abbie Cornish definitely rocks! I mean, ok, we already had a chance to hear that David Riker‘s movie deals with motherhood, immigration and politics, but somewhere in between – I think we’re actually dealing with a quite powerful story of love & commitment. Take a look, and let us know what you think!
As we previously reported, the movie which comes from writer/director David Riker debuted at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, and beside great Abbie Cornish, it also stars Will Patton and young Maritza Santiago Hernandez.

Cornish stars as a single mother named Ashley, described as an emotionally distraught woman coming to grips with her child being taken away by Social Services. She is also in dire straits financially, and soon begins to ferry illegal immigrants across the border from Mexico into Texas to keep the bills paid. But when a young girl named Rosa comes into her care, everything begins to change for Ashley – a girl who has made all the wrong choices gets one last chance to make things right.
The Girl is set to open in limited theaters on December 14th, 2012 and will have a full theatrical release in March, 2013.
