Roadside Attractions has released the domestic trailer for the western The Homesman [HOMSM] featuring an all-star cast led by Hilary Swank [HSWAN] and Tommy Lee Jones [TLJON], who also directed. The film premiered at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival to a mixed reception.
When three women living on the edge of the American frontier are driven to the brink, the task of saving them from their surroundings falls to the pious, independent-minded Mary Bee Cuddy (Hilary Swank). Transporting the women by covered wagon to Iowa, she soon realizes just how daunting the journey will be, and employs a feisty low-life drifter, George Biggs (Tommy Lee Jones), to join her. The unlikely pair and the three women (Grace Gummer, Miranda Otto, Sonja Richter) head east, where a waiting minister and his wife (Meryl Streep) have offered to take the women in. But the group first must traverse the harsh Nebraska Territories marked by stark beauty, psychological peril and constant threat.
The Homesman opens in limited release starting November 14th.
