With all the big movies like DOCTOR STRANGE and ROGUE ONE on the horizon it’s easy to forget about the little movies on the way. One of those movies is Robert Zemeckis’ ALLIED, starring Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard.
But it’s okay if you didn’t know this movie existed because a teaser trailer has just been released, so you can get in the loop right quick.
Check out the intrigue below!
As you can tell, the heart of the movie will lie in Pitt and Cotillard’s chemistry as two WWII-era undercover allies whose relationship deepens as they plot a high-profile assassination. This was a bond producer Graham King said was “crucial” in developing during an interview with People:
It was crucial for Brad and Marion to not only begin rehearsing together before the shoot, but they also spent a lot of time developing their characters with the director, Robert Zemeckis. By the time we got to set, it was really amazing to see these characters already feel lived in and real."
“Brad and Marion immediately had the utmost respect for each other, so once they delved into their characters, their chemistry was electric.”
Though Pitt and Cotillard are huge names, it was the script by Steven Knight that got them to sign on for the WWII thriller:
Everyone was immediately drawn to the project by Steve Knight's wonderful script. He is an incredible storyteller and wrote a beautiful love story that examines trust and loyalty.
I am appropriately intrigued by all the mysterious going-ons in this trailer. It's suspenseful, thrilling and showcases the immense talents of the two leads. With it coming out in the middle of Oscar season, this is one to keep an eye on.
ALLIED starring Brad Pitt, Marion Cotillard, Lizzy Caplan and Matthew Goode is set for November 23.
