War Horse on Film: Watch the Trailer for Steven Spielberg's Movie

Get ready to weep: War Horse is coming to the big screen on December 28, directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay co-written by Richard Curtis and Billy Elliot’s Lee Hall. Hot on the heels of the World War I saga’s Best Play Tony win (both play and movie are based on Michael Morpurgo's children's novel), Spielberg presents a real-life chestnut colt in the role of Joey, the beloved horse that young owner Albert Narracott (Jeremy Irvine) follows into battle. Take a look at the goosebump-inducing trailer for the film, set to a typically soaring score by John Williams and featuring the tagline “Far from home, hope survives.”
