Movie Trailer for Chris Weitz's new Film A BETTER LIFE
Chris Weitz, the director of Twilight: New Moon and The Golden Compass went on to direct a low-budget drama called A Better Life, and it looks like a very good film. The LA Times recently debuted the first trailer for the film which follows "the relationship between illegal immigrant Carlos Galindo (Mexican actor Demián Bichir) and his teenage son, Luis (José Julián). When Carlos’ truck is stolen, the father is powerless to turn to law enforcement, but the crisis brings him closer to his potentially wayward son." According to the LA Times,
Weitz shot the film in about 70 Southern California locations, employing any number of Latino crew members for a movie that contains a significant amount of Spanish dialogue.“It’s a story about a Mexican immigrant,” Weitz says, “a very hard-working man, and the threats to his livelihood and his life.”
The movie is scheduled to be released on June 24th. Watch the trailer below and tell us what you think!
