With what looks to be a fantastic cast and some solid drama, the first trailer for transatlantic story Brooklyn, starring Saoirse Ronan, has arrived at the web’s port with its passport in its hand.
Nick Hornby adapted Colm Tóibín’s bestseller, providing the script for director John Crowley. Ronan is starring in the 1950s-set story as a young woman named Eilis, who in a quest to find a new life and some work moves from her small Irish town to the shiny new world of Brooklyn. There, she meets and falls for an Italian-American named Tony (Emory Cohen).
But a family tragedy strikes, bringing Eilis back home, where she reconnects with her old community and finds Jim (Domhnall Gleeson) trying to win her affections. Suddenly, she’s caught between two worlds and two potential loves…
With Jim Broadbent, Julie Walters (who appears to be on scene-stealing form), Eileen O’Higgins and Eve Macklin in the ensemble, Brooklyn will be out in November.
