Evening trailer

If this summer you happen to get bored of all the Shreks, Spidermans, and Jack Sparrows in the cinemas, and find yourself somewhere in the United States, check out the film Evening.

Evening tells the past and the present of Anna Grant, a 65 year old woman dying of cancer. As she lays in bed she tells her two daughters, Constance and Nina, the story of her life. Anna also confesses her fondest memory, a weekend in the 1950's when she met the only true love of her life. The film is based on a book by Susan Minot and it is adapted to the screen by Pulitzer Price winning author Michael Cunningham.

(Claire Danes and Mamie Gummer)

Ok, granted, the plot doesn't sound all that exciting, but what really makes me want to see this movie is the impressive cast it has. Evening stars, (hang on), Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Vanessa Redgrave, Natasha Richardson, Claire Danes, Toni Collette, Patrick Wilson, Hugh Dancy, and Mamie Gummer (Streep's daughter). Add to that mix the name of Michael Cunningham, whose novel inspired one of my favorite films, and we could potentially have a very good movie. I just hope it won't turn out to be disappointing.

The film opens on June 29 as a limited release in the United States and below you can find the trailer...
