Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close Gets An International Poster

After being nominated for two Academy Awards, a new international poster has been released to help promote the upcoming EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE.

Based on the novel of the same name, the film focuses on a family devastated by the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Centre. The film stars Tom Hanks as Thomas Schell and Sandra Bullock as his wife, Linda. They are mother and father to Oskar (Thomas Horn), an inquisitive 10 year-old boy, who finds a key among his fathers belongings and sets out across New York to find the lock that it fits. Along the way he meets many people who, directly or otherwise, knew his father. The film also stars Max von Sydow, Viola Davis and Jeffrey Wright as these strangers, who seem not so strange at all.

This adaptation is directed by Stephen Daldry, the man behind BILLY ELLIOT (2000), THE HOURS (2002) and THE READER (2008). The films Academy Award nominations are for Best Film and Best Supporting Actor for Max von Sydow.

With a tagline of ‘This is not a story about September 11th, it’s a story about every day after’, it will be a good change to see something that focuses on the aftermath of that terrible event, and also from a child’s perspective.

EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE is due for release 17th February.

Considering Jazmine grew up watching CARRY ON SCREAMING, THE LION KING and JURASSIC PARK on repeat for weeks on end, it made sense for her to study film at London South Bank University. It’s also a good thing that her course requires a lot of sitting down because she’s very accident-prone. When she’s not examining her bruises, she likes pretending that she doesn’t live in Southend-On-Sea and spends hours mindlessly blogging. Favourite films include BLUE VALENTINE, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND and TOY STORY 2.
