Early word on this devastating disaster drama, THE IMPOSSIBLE, has been nothing short of astonishing. The film is based on the horrific events of the Boxing Day tsunami that struck off the coast of the Indian Ocean in 2004 and stars Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor as a holidaying couple with two young children caught up in the devastation and fighting for their survival.
Directed by J.A. Bayona, who helmed to outstanding ghostly thriller THE ORPHANAGE, THE IMPOSSIBLE is said to feature some epic special-effects that bring the harrowing real-life events to the big-screen. The film is released during the heart of award season and we expect it to feature strongly. Check out the poster below and we’ve also got the most recent trailer for you, just below:
THE IMPOSSIBLE opens on 4th January 2013.
