The trailer for the new drama "The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond", based on a Tennessee Williams story is finally out and you can watch it over at my YouTube channel.
Starring Bryce Dallas Howard ("Lady in the Water", "Terminator Salvation") and Chris Evans, the movie follows a young and rebellious socialite Fisher Willow, who tainted by a family scandal, boldly hires farm hand Jimmy Dobyne to be her escort for the elaborate party season. As her passion for Jimmy grows, Fisher defies social convention and the burden of history to risk everything for a chance at real love... until the loss of a priceless diamond sets off a series of accusations and betrayals that threaten to shatter their hopes for the future. With the indelible characters and breathtaking Southern backdrops, the film tells a heartbreaking tale of seduction and loss. Of course the loss of the diamond is a metaphor for the loss of love and heart. Although Bryce didn't really impress me in the trailer, I did like Chris Evans, and I liked the feeling of the past seen in the movie which seems very classic and elegant. We really don't see such films often these days.
I guess it was about time for another Tennessee Williams adaptation. Funny thing, I'm not sure I ever saw (myself) one of "his" movies. Maybe I could start with this one.
