Trailer for Ewan McGregor's Moving Family Drama BLEEDING LOVE
Icon Film Distribution has released the first trailer for a moving family drama titled Bleeding Love, which stars Ewan McGregor and his daughter Clara McGregor.
In the film, “In hopes of reconnecting with his estranged child, a father (Ewan McGregor) embarks on an impromptu road trip with his now-adult daughter (Ewan McGregor) after she has a near-fatal drug overdose. He is planning to take her to rehab - though she doesn’t know that. En route to their destination of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and encountering an eccentric array of characters along the way, the two are forced to confront the issues of their past, the trip proving less about the road that they’re on, and more about the troubled one from their past.”
The film was directed by Emma Westenberg who said: "It was incredible to work with real life father-daughter duo Clara and Ewan McGregor on a story so personal to everyone involved. Their acting talents and real-life bonds combined to make them burst off the screen. I am grateful for the support of all the producers and crew on the project."
She added: "I felt a deep emotional connection to this story because substance abuse touches so many families, including my own, so when Vera Bulder and Clara McGregor approached me to direct I connected to the story immediately."
Clara co-wrote the script with Vera Bulder and Ruby Caster. Clara shared that while the story is fiction, “aspects of it draw on her sometimes tricky relationship with her dad in the past.”
Bleeding Love will be released in UK cinemas on April 12th.
