Trailer for “The Reader” stars Ralph Fiennes, David Kross and Kate Winslet directed by Stephen Daldry (the Academy Award nominated director of “The Hours“), from a script by David Hare has been released.
The movie is based on the award winning novel by Bernhard Schlink. Schlink's “The Reader” has been translated into 39 languages and was the first German novel to reach number one on The New York Times Bestseller List.
The story opens in post-WWII Germany when teenager Michael Berg becomes ill and is helped home by Hanna (Winslet), a stranger twice his age. Michael recovers from scarlet fever and seeks out Hanna to thank her. The two are quickly drawn into a passionate but secretive affair.
Michael discovers that Hanna loves being read to and their physical relationship deepens. Despite their intense bond, Hanna mysteriously disappears one day and Michael is left confused and heartbroken. Eight years later, while Michael is a law student observing the Nazi war crime trials, he is stunned to find Hanna back in his life – this time as a defendant in the courtroom. As Hanna's past is revealed, Michael uncovers a deep secret that will impact both of their lives.
The Weinstein Company is pushing “The Reader” to be considered for an Oscar and will release it on December 10th 2008 in limited release.
