We already saw a teaser trailer for The Impossible, so by now you know that Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor are on board for the whole thing and that's pretty much awesome for a movie which is based on one family's survival of the 2004 tsunami.
Sounds intense, scary, and to tell you the truth, that's just the kind of story I've been expecting from The Orphanage helmer Juan Antonio Bayona.
The Impossible is still without an official release date but at least we now have better description of the whole thing, so make sure you check it out.
Movie centers on Maria (Watts), Henry (McGregor) and their three sons who begin their winter vacation in Thailand, looking forward to a few days in tropical paradise. But on the morning of December 26th, as the family relaxes around the pool after their Christmas festivities the night before, a terrifying roar rises up from the center of the earth. As Maria freezes in fear, a huge wall of black water races across the hotel grounds toward her.
Based on a true story, The Impossible is the unforgettable account of a family caught, with tens of thousands of strangers, in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time. But the true-life terror is tempered by the unexpected displays of compassion, courage and simple kindness that Maria and her family encounter during the darkest hours of their lives.
Both epic and intimate, devastating and uplifting, The Impossible is a journey to the core of the human heart.
And what a journey!
Let us know what you think about this project, and stay tuned for more!
