Samuel Goldwyn Films just released a brand new official trailer and poster for The Yellow Handkerchief, starring Academy Award winner William Hurt, Kristen Stewart, Maria Bello and Eddie Redmayne.
Maria Bello made a strong impression on me when I saw her in The History of Violence. Kristen Stewart character seems stronger than Bella in the Twilight movies. She looks pretty good in this trailer.
William Hurt and Amber Heard are set to star with Zach Gilford in “The River Why,” an adaptation of the 1983 Sierra Club novel by David James Duncan.
The story is about the coming-of-age for a young man named Gus Orviston (Gilford) and his quest for an elusive rainbow trout, which is a metaphor for the man’s internal search for self-knowledge.
Hurt is Gus’ father, while Heard is his love interest, a tomboy fly-fisher.
William Hurt signed on “Damages” and will work with his “The Big Chill” co-star Glenn Close. What a caliber of actors on FOX Cable TV. This is Hurt’s first time he’s taken on a role in a TV series.
Hurt starts next week in New York. He plays a client of Close’s character – Patty Hewes – “tough as nails attorney.” Both characters have a past that is not just professional – whoa.
I am sure with Hurt added to the cast the show’s ratings will increase. As I recall in “The Big Chill” Hurt and Close did not have that many scenes together. So, this should prove to be a fruitful adventure.
