Three TV Spots For Steven Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’ – Starring Jeremy Irvine, Tom Hiddleston & Benedict Cumberbatch

DreamWorks Pictures has released these three new TV spots for Steven Spielberg’s upcoming epic adventure ‘War Horse.’ 2011 sees the legendary director release two films, the motion-capture ‘The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn,’ and the more dramatic ‘War Horse.’ The latter has already been described as a contender come awards season, from the looks of this trailer I can certainly see why. ‘War Horse’ is an adaptation of the acclaimed Michael Morpurgo novel of the same name – it has also been adapted by the London National Theatre into a hugely successful stage play.

The film follows a young boy named Albert and his beloved farm horse Joey during the outbreak of WWI. Joey is sold to the British cavalry by Albert’s father and dispatched to the front lines, Joey begins an extraordinary journey against the backdrop of the Great War. Despite the obstacles he faces at every step of his journey, he touches and changes each life he encounters along the way. Albert, unable to forget his friend, leaves home for the battlefields of France to find his horse and bring him home. ‘War Horse’ is set for release December 28th in the US and January 13th 2012 in the UK. The film stars Jeremy Irvine, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Patrick Kennedy, Emily Watson, Toby Kebbell, David Thewlis, Eddie Marsan, and Peter Mullan.

DreamWorks Pictures’ “WAR HORSE,” director Steven Spielberg’s epic adventure, is a tale of loyalty, hope and tenacity set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War. “WAR HORSE” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets-British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter-before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land.

The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse-an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure. “WAR HORSE” is one of the great stories of friendship and war- a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful international theatrical hit that is currently on Broadway. It now comes to screen in an epic adaptation by one of the great directors in film history.
