Inspiring New Trailer For Pixar's SOUL
Disney has released a wonderful new inspiring trailer for Pixar’s upcoming animated movie Soul. The new trailer features the song “Parting Ways” which was written, produced, and performed by Cody ChesnuTT. In the trailer, the main character, Joe, offers the following advice:
“Spend your precious hours doing what will bring out the real you — the brilliant, passionate you that’s ready to contribute something meaningful into this world. Get ready, your life is about to start.”
Soul comes from director Pete Docter (Up, Inside Out) and Jamie Foxx stars in the film as Joe, a guy who worked hard his whole to live his dream of being a jazz musician. Then, when the opportunity presents itself a tragedy strikes. The story follows his soul on a journey into the afterlife where he meets 22, a soul who has yet to go to Earth, who is played by Tina Fey. Together they have to find a way to get Joe back to his body.
The official tagline for Soul reads: “Ever wonder where your passion, your dreams, and your interests come from? What is it that makes you… YOU?” The movie will take you on a journey from the streets of New York City to the cosmic realms to discover the answers to life’s most important questions.
Soul “imagines that every person on earth comes pre-installed with a soul formed and perfected in a cosmic realm. Joe Gardner is a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22, who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions.”
The film also stars Daveed Diggs, Ahmir Questlove, Angela Bassett, and Phylicia Rashad. Globally renowned musician Jon Batiste will be writing original jazz music for the film, and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross from Nine Inch Nails will compose an original score that will drift between the real and soul worlds.
Soul will be released on June 19.
