‘Magic in the Moonlight’ gets a trailer
Woody Allen’s new film, Magic in the Moonlight, about a famous English actor (Oscar winner Colin Firth, The King’s Speech) out to debunk an infamous medium (Emma Stone, the upcoming Birdman), drops its first trailer and it’s lovely. Going back to the era and country that brought him so much success in Midnight in Paris, Magic finds itself in the south of France in the 1920s. Co-starring Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden (Pollock) and two-time Oscar nominee Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom, Silver Linings Playbook).
Magic in the Moonlight will be released from Sony Pictures Classics on July 25th.
Here’s the trailer:
Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.
He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
