Bryan Cranston Is a Circus Ringleader in New Trailer for THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN
The One and Only Ivan is a book from Katherine Applegate about a silverback gorilla, and it’s being adapted into a film for Disney+. Well, the popular streaming service has released a new trailer for the film, and we get to see Bryan Cranston as a circus ringleader showing Ivan off to crowds. The trailer does look interesting and really pulls at you a little as Ivan tells Ruby about being free, it’s a little powerful.
An adaptation of the award-winning book about one very special gorilla, Disney’s “The One and Only Ivan” is an unforgettable tale about the beauty of friendship, the power of visualization and the significance of the place one calls home. Ivan is a 400-pound silverback gorilla who shares a communal habitat in a suburban shopping mall with Stella the elephant, Bob the dog, and various other animals. He has few memories of the jungle where he was captured, but when a baby elephant named Ruby arrives, it touches something deep within him. Ruby is recently separated from her family in the wild, which causes him to question his life, where he comes from and where he ultimately wants to be. The heartwarming adventure, which comes to the screen in an impressive hybrid of live-action and CGI, is based on Katherine Applegate’s bestselling book, which won numerous awards upon its publication in 2013, including the Newbery Medal.
Fans will be able to watch The One and Only Ivan on Disney+ on August 14. The film is directed by Thea Sharrock, is written by Mike White, and stars Cranston, Danny DeVito, Ron Funches, Ariana Greenblatt, Angelina Jolie, Chaka Khan, Helen Mirren, Brooklynn Prince, Sam Rockwell, Ramon Rodriquez, Phillipa Soo, and Mike White.
