First Look: the COLLATERAL BEAUTY trailer and poster
The first trailer for Collateral Beauty is here and by all appearances the film looks to be not much more than a holiday dramedy with tons of “Academy Award Nominee…” and “Academy Award Winner…” title cards to boost its visibility, box office, and awards potential.
Collateral Beauty stars Will Smith as a New York advertising executive who experiences a personal tragedy and retreats from life entirely, he begins writing letters, not to people, but to things – time, love, death – all of which manifest themselves in human form to help him deal with his grief.
The film, directed by David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada, Marley & Me), also stars Keira Knightley, Edward Norton, Michael Peña, Naomie Harris, Jacob Latimore, Kate Winslet and Helen Mirren.
Collateral Beauty is set for release by Warner Brothers on December 16th.
