Angelina Jolie On Meeting Louis Zamperini & Unbroken Trailer

Posted on by

One of the films we are most excited about is Angelina Jolie’s second directorial film, Unbroken. The film is about the life of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner who was taken prisoner by Japanese forces during World War II. Angelina told Australia’s TV Week Magazine about meeting Zamperini just before he died.

“I brought him the film on my laptop in the hospital and it was amazing seeing someone at the end of their life watching their life unfold again, at the same time their body was shutting down,

He wanted me to make the movie to show something hopeful about the strength of the human spirit that can pull us through. He reminded me to have my surgery in the year that I did and he reminded me to appreciate every day of my life.”

Watch the trailer and let us know what you think.

Posted on by

Angelina Jolie’s second film as a director looks as brilliant as the first.

Based on Laura Hillenbrand’s 2010 best-seller Unbroken; it tells the true story of an Olympic athlete, Louis “Louie” Zamperini who survived in a raft for 47 days after a near-fatal plane crash in WWII along with two fellow crewmen.

In this preview there is narration from Tom Brokaw and some footage from the film intercut with an interview with the real-life Zamperini. Jack O’Connell stars as Zamperini and Domhnall Gleeson and Finn Wittrock as his fellow survivors. Directed by Angelina Jolie and co-written by Joel and Ethan Coen, It opens Christmas Day, 2014. We can’t wait.
