We have a brand new trailer and character poster set for the forthcoming gripping true story THE RAILWAY MAN. The film comes from BURNING MAN director Jonathan Teplitzky and is adapted by Frank Cottrell Boyce from the autobiography of Eric Lomax. Oscar-winner Colin Firth could find himself in for awards consideration once again as early reviews suggest the British actor gives another incredible performance as trouble war veteran struggling with his tortured past.
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.
THE RAILWAY MAN is released in the UK on 1st January 2014 and co-stars Nicole Kidman, Jeremy Irvine, Stellan Skarsgård, Hiroyuki Sanada and Sam Reid. No US date is yet confirmed.
