A new trailer for Steven Spielberg‘s War Horse has debuted and it continues the slow reveal for the film which hits theaters on December 25.
I was discussing this film just last night and it’s Best Picture prospects as I currently have it positioned in the #2 slot in my Best Picture predictions, just behind Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, which recently had its first trailer debut to which some really enjoyed and others considered “sappy and emotionally manipulative.” I wonder, are you getting the same vibe from this film? Also, do you see any Best Actor or Actress prospects coming out of this one? Jeremy Irvine? Emily Watson perhaps?

From director Steven Spielberg comes War Horse, an epic adventure for audiences of all ages. Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, War Horse begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets — British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter — before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land.
The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse — an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure. War Horse is one of the great stories of friendship and war — a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful international theatrical hit that is arriving on Broadway next year. It now comes to screen in an epic adaptation by one of the great directors in film history.
