So yesterday a few of you may have briefly gotten a glimpse at the trailer for Before I Go to Sleep before it was removed, but today we have an official international trailer for the film starring Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth and Mark Strong along with the first poster for the upcoming thriller.
[amz asin=”B004GUSG4M” size=”small”]Based on the very good book by S.J. Watson, the film is written and directed by Rowan Joffe (Brighton Rock) and tells the Memento-esque story of a woman (Kidman) who wakes up every day, remembering nothing from the previous day as a result of a traumatic accident in her past. Things begin to come clear as she begins writing in a daily diary, but it soon gets to the point she isn’t sure she can even trust her own words.
The trailer already shows how the book’s plot has been changed slightly in that Kidman’s character is keeping a video diary rather than writing in one and personally I have my concerns over how this story can be adapted properly for the big screen without it seeming like all we’re doing is waiting for the big “twist” in the end, but we’ll see.
New indie distributor Clarius Entertainment will be releasing the film on September 12, check out the trailer and poster below.
