            Thanks to Warner Bros., we have received a new trailer for the upcoming drama, Collateral Beauty which just so happens to be in my top 5 anticipated movies for the rest of the year. The film is directed by David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada, Marley & Me) and tells the story of a successful New York advertising executive who suffers a personal tragedy and retreats from his daily life. He tries to seek answers by writing letters to Love, Time and Death only to receive encounters with the human equivalents to these elements.

            The cast of this film alone should get you to the theater. Will Smith, Edward Norton, Kate Winslet. That’s not even close to being the whole cast and right there you have twelve Oscar nominations between the three of them. Unfortunately, I would’ve been looking forward to this even more of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl director, Alfonso Gomez-Rejon was still attached but now we have Frankel. He doesn’t have the best track record but I can tell you from what I’ve seen from the first two trailers that I’m still very excited to see this movie.

            Collateral Beauty opens in theaters on December 16^th. In addition to Smith, Norton and Winslet, it also stars Helen Mirren, Keira Knightley, Michael Pena and Naomie Harris. Check out the new trailer below!
