If you completely forgot about Akiva Goldsman‘s Winter’s Tale adaptation, don’t worry, it’s probably not early onset Alzheimer’s.
After getting up from a sleep of sometime, Goldsman’s directorial debut releases its first trailer just to remind you for the romantic fantasy starring Colin Farrell and Downton Abbey‘s Jessica Brown Findlay.
Oscar-winning screenwriter spent months assembling a stellar cast of big names and secured a Valentine’s Day 2014 release date from Warner Bros.
The time-traveling flick, based on a novel by Mark Helprin, also stars Russell Crowe and William Hurt, and centers around the love between a thief and a young woman dying of a fatal illness.
Co-starring Will Smith, Jennifer Connelly, Eva Marie Saint, Ripley Sobo and Mckayla Twiggs, the romantic supernatural drama opens February 14th, 2014.
Check out the Winter’s Tale trailer as well as the new poster below.
