Andrew Garfield Goes For Oscar Gold in First Trailer For Andy Serkis' BREATHE
Andrew Garfield (Amazing Spider-Man) and Claire Foy (The Crown) star in an upcoming new drama called Breathe and it looks like both of them are going for Oscar gold.
The movie is based on the inspiring true story of Robin Cavendish, and it's described as "a heart-warming and highly-emotional celebration of bravery and human possibility, a love story about living every breath as though it’s your last." The Trailer came along with the following synopsis:
For his directorial debut, Andy Serkis brings to life the inspiring true love story between Robin and Diana Cavendish (Andrew Garfield, Claire Foy), an adventurous couple who refuse to give up in the face of a devastating disease. When Robin is struck down by polio at the age of 28, he is confined to a hospital bed and given only a few months to live. With the help of Diana's twin brothers (Tom Hollander) and the groundbreaking ideas of inventor Teddy Hall (Hugh Bonneville), Robin and Diana dare to escape the hospital ward to seek out a full and passionate life together — raising their young son, traveling and devoting their lives to helping other polio patients. Written by two-time Academy Award nominated writer William Nicholson, and shot by three-time Academy Award winner Robert Richardson, BREATHE is a heartwarming celebration of love and human possibility.
The film was directed by Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, Planet of the Apes) and it marks his feature film directorial debut. It looks like he did a great job bringing this story to life!
STX will release the film in the UK on October 27th, while Bleecker Street and Participant Media will release it in the U.S. on October 13th.
