Here
are the first images from Angelina Jolie’s third movie titled Unbroken, starring
Jack O’Connell, Domhnall Gleeson, Finn Wittrock, Garrett Hedlund, Alex Russell,
and Carla Thexton.
Unbroken
is based on the non-fiction book by Lauren Hillenbrand and tells the story of
Louis Zamperini, a former Olympic athlete and WWII bomber pilot whose plane
crashed at sea and after 47 days he and his crew were captured by the Japanese
Navy and put in a POW camp.
Unbroken
Synopsis:
Academy
Award® winner Angelina Jolie directs and produces Unbroken, an epic drama that
follows the incredible life of Olympian and war hero Louis “Louie” Zamperini
(Jack O’Connell) who, along with two other crewmen, survived in a raft for 47
days after a near-fatal plane crash in WWII—only to be caught by the Japanese
Navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.
Adapted
from Laura Hillenbrand’s (“Seabiscuit: An American Legend”) enormously popular
book, Unbroken brings to the big screen Zamperini’s unbelievable and inspiring
true story about the resilient power of the human spirit.
Starring
alongside O’Connell, Gleeson and Wittrock are Garrett Hedlund and John Magaro
as fellow POWs who find an unexpected camaraderie during their internment, Alex
Russell as Zamperini’s brother, Pete, and in his English-language feature
debut, Japanese actor Miyavi as the brutal camp guard known only to the men as
“The Bird.”
The
film is produced by Jolie, as well as Matthew Baer (City by the Sea), Erwin
Stoff (The Day the Earth Stood Still) and Clayton Townsend (This Is 40). Leading the accomplished behind-the-scenes
crew is 10-time Oscar®-nominated cinematographer Roger Deakins (Skyfall).
Academy
Award® winners Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men) rewrote the
screenplay from earlier drafts by William Nicholson (Les Misérables) and
Richard LaGravenese (HBO’s Behind the Candelabra).
Unbroken
arrives in theaters on Christmas Day, 2014.
