One of the most anticiaped movies to hit cinemas over the upcoming award season is the Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman feature THE RAILWAY MAN, which makes its debut on UK shores on New Year’s Day. There isn’t actually a U.S. release date set for the film as yet, but the film did get quite a good reception at the Toronto Film Festival in Canada last month, so let’s hope the film gets allocated a slot off of the back of it.
Based on his best-selling memoir, The Railway Man tells the extraordinary and epic true story of Eric Lomax, a British Army officer who is tormented as a prisoner of war at a Japanese labour camp during World War II. Decades later, Lomax discovers that the Japanese interpreter he holds responsible for much of his treatment is still alive and sets out to confront him, and his haunting past. Directed by Jonathan Teplitzky, and starring Academy Award-winner Colin Firth, Jeremy Irvine, and Academy Award-winner Nicole Kidman, the film is a powerful tale of survival, love and redemption.
Jeremy Irvine, Stellan Skarsgard and Sam Reid also star.
We have a look at the first UK posters for the film, the quad and the one sheet, below. Watch the trailer for the film here.
