Trailer for the movie based on Jonathan Safran Foer's 9/11 novel, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close with Tom Hanks:

Based on the acclaimed novel of the same name, "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" tells the story of one young boy's journey from heartbreaking loss to the healing power of self-discovery, set against the backdrop of the tragic events of September 11.

Eleven-year-old Oskar Schell is an exceptional child: amateur inventor, Francophile, pacifist. And after finding a mysterious key that belonged to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11, he embarks on an exceptional journey—an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. As Oskar roams the city, he encounters a motley assortment of humanity, who are all survivors in their own ways. Ultimately, Oskar's journey ends where it began, but with the solace of that most human experience: love.

Academy Award® nominee Stephen Daldry ("The Reader," "The Hours") directs "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" from a screenplay by Academy Award® winner Eric Roth ("Forrest Gump," "The Insider"), based on Jonathan Safran Foer's acclaimed novel. The film stars Academy Award® winners Tom Hanks ("Forrest Gump," "Philadelphia") and Sandra Bullock ("The Blind Side"), and is being produced by Academy Award® winner Scott Rudin ("No Country for Old Men," "The Social Network," "True Grit"). Celia Costas, Mark Roybal and Nora Skinner serve as executive producers.

Also starring in the film are newcomer Thomas Horn as Oskar; John Goodman as Stan, the doorman in Oskar's building; James Gandolfini as Ron, a new friend of Oskar's mom; four-time Tony Award winner Zoe Caldwell as the boy's grandmother; Academy Award® nominee Viola Davis ("Doubt") and Jeffrey Wright as a couple whose own tenuous relationship has a profound effect on Oskar; and Academy Award® nominee Max von Sydow ("Pelle the Conqueror," "Shutter Island") as the man renting a room from Oskar's grandmother, who befriends Oskar and accompanies him on his quest.

New trailer and images for a movie based on the New York Times best-selling book, The Help.

Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, The Help stars Emma Stone (Easy A) as Skeeter, Academy Award® - nominated Viola Davis (Doubt) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny - three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed - even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times.

Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humour and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.
