Trailer for the Outlaw Drama AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS

Here's the first trailer for a new outlaw crime drama called Ain't Them Bodies Saints. The film has an impressive cast that includes Rooney Mara, Casey Affleck, and Ben Foster. I saw the movie up at Sundance earlier this year, and even though I liked it, it's not for everyone. It's a slow moving poetic love story that follows an outlaw couple, and a heartbreaking portrayal of a family split apart. You can read my review for it here.

Bob Muldoon (Casey Affleck) and Ruth Guthrie (Rooney Mara), an impassioned young outlaw couple on an extended crime spree, are finally apprehended by lawmen after a shootout in the Texas hills. Although Ruth wounds a local officer, Bob takes the blame. But four years later, Bob escapes from prison and sets out to find Ruth and their daughter, born during his incarceration. Set against the backdrop of 1970′s Texas Hill Country, director David Lowery paints a poetic picture, evoking the mythology of westerns and saturating the dramatic space with an aching sense of loss. Featuring powerful performances by Affleck, Mara as well as Ben Foster and Keith Carradine, AIN’T THEM BODIES SAINTS is a story of love, motherhood, and searching for peace while faced with an unrelenting past.

The movie is set to be released on August 16th. Here's the trailer.
