The first trailer for a forthcoming film adaptation of Donna Tartt's 2014 Pulitzer-winning novel, "The Goldfinch," has been released. Watch the video below:
The Pulitzer board described Tartt's novel as "a beautifully written coming-of-age novel with exquisitely drawn characters that follows a grieving boy's entanglement with a small famous painting that has eluded destruction, a book that stimulates the mind and touches the heart."
Warner Bros. Pictures and Amazon Studios are now set to release the full film on September 13. It will star Ansel Elgort as Theo Decker and Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Barbour. John Crowley is directing.
In an interview with Empire Online, Crowley said:
One of the things that really excited me about the book, and the idea of adapting it, was how vivid and distinct the world were within the book: between the icy cool Upper East Side world, to the slightly shambolic warm bohemian world of Hobie's downtown antique shop, to the blinding light of the Las Vegas desert, right down to the noirish, dark underworld of Amsterdam — and what all that represents to Theo emotionally. It was really important that we had a chance of capturing them on the screen in a way that was visually fully realised as possible.
