Trailer for Elijah Wood's SET FIRE TO THE STARS
A trailer has been released for Elijah Wood's new film Set Fire to the Stars. The film is set in the 1950s, and Wood plays an aspiring poet named John M. Brinnin "who has his ordered world shaken when he embarks on a week-long retreat to save his hell raising hero, Dylan Thomas." He has basically been given the task of coordinating the first trip to the US for Thomas, who is played by Celyn Jones. It's a road trip movie that kind of has the same plot as the Jonah Hill and Russell Brand comedy Get Him to the Greek, only this one centers on a poet instead of a rockstar, and it's a black and white movie that takes place in the '50s.
The movie was directed by Andy Goddard (Downton Abbey), and it looks like an amusing and fun film. It premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival, where it was met with positive reviews.
