International Trailer for THE LITTLE PRINCE Film Adaptation
An international trailer has been released for the big screen adaptation of The Little Prince. The film is based on the book by the French aristocrat, writer, poet and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The film was made with a mix of CG and stop-motion animation.
The trailer is completely in French, but it does give us our first look at what we can expect to see in the movie. Since the book is so short, the filmmakers took creative liberties to add a few things to stretch it out into a feature length film. Basically they set the story in a new narrative with the use of a little girl who discovers the Prince's adventures with the stranded pilot/author from the story. I do have to say that the film looks absolutely beautiful.
The Little Prince stars Riley Osborne as the Prince, Marion Cotillard as The Rose, Rachel McAdams as The Mother, James Franco as The Fox, Jeff Bridges as The Aviator, Benicio del Toro as The Snake, Ricky Gervais as The Conceited Man, Paul Giamatti as The Teacher, Albert Brooks as Businessman, Bud Cort as The King, and Mackenzie Foy as The Girl.
The film is set for release in France on October 7th, 2015. No US or UK release date has been announced yet.
