THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS Trailer Seems to Give Away The Entire Movie
I like Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, and Rachel Weisz, and I'm also a fan of director Derek Cianfrance (The Place Beyond The Pines, Blue Valentine), so I was pretty much sold on The Light Between Oceans from the start. I should have known better than to watch this trailer.
I haven't read the best-selling book on which the movie is based, but from reading the synopsis (and talking to someone who has read the book), it seems very much like this trailer essentially gives away every major beat of the story. I guess the marketing department is hoping people will just want to spend more time luxuriating in the melodrama of this cinematic world, but I don't know — I was interested before, but now I sort of feel like I've already seen the movie.
The Light Between Oceans hits theaters on September 2nd.
