DRAMATIC 'HOURS' TRAILER
PAUL WALKER AGAINST KATRINA HURRICANE AND TIME
Coming out December 13th is dramatic action thriller HOURS with Paul Walker and today you can check out the trailer for the film! Before sunrise on August 29, 2005, Nolan 
Hayes (Paul Walker) arrives at a New Orleans hospital with his pregnant wife, Abigail (Genesis Rodriguez), who has gone into early labour. What should be one of the happiest days of Nolan's life quickly spirals out of control when the birth goes tragically wrong and Hurricane Katrina ravages the hospital, forcing an evacuation. Nolan and his newborn baby are soon cut off from the world by power outages and rising flood waters.

ReplyDeletefrom the moment I heard the film would be shot, I knew it would be deeply dramatic and moving, Grace!
DeleteYeah, the hours looks good. I'll follow Paul Walker through a hurricane. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd no Hollywood story would be complete without a mention of it's most famous spy. I do hope Grand Ave. producers have been in touch. :))
Who wouldn't ?:)
DeleteYes, the only problem being that me is not as old as the beginning of the previous century :)
I don't think I could watch Hours, sounds too depressing
ReplyDeleteit's more inspiring than depressing, since he saves his kid in the end... the power of human will
DeleteGrand Ave and Hours look really good! I've missed seeing Paul Walker in movies other than those damn Fast and Furious films!
ReplyDeletewe do love seeing hunky Paul, don't we? :)
