Harrison Ford Seems To Actually Care in Trailer For THE AGE OF ADALINE

We don't often feature trailers for romantic dramas on GeekTyrant, but The Age of Adaline deserves mentioning for one simple reason: star Harrison Ford seems to actually give a sh*t about what he's doing in it. In recent years, Ford has leaned on his gruff persona and has - let's admit it - basically coasted through roles in films like Firewall, Cowboys & Aliens, Paranoia, Ender's Game, and Anchorman 2. (I still haven't seen 42, but I have it recorded on my DVR waiting for me to get a free two hours.) The brief glimpse we get of Ford in this trailer makes it look like the old Harrison Ford, the one from the 80s and 90s who put real power behind his performances and was just as believable as an action hero, a father, or a husband.

We haven't yet seen any of Ford's work in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but based on his rather testy relationship with that franchise, I'm guessing we're going to get a much more nuanced, impassioned performance from him in smaller movies like this than Abrams' upcoming blockbuster. The Age of Adaline stars Blake Lively as a woman who doesn't age, and Ford as an older man she once had a relationship with. Lee Toland Krieger (The Vicious Kind, Celeste & Jesse Forever) directs, and the movie opens on April 24th, 2015.
