5 Most Exciting ings About the New Wild Trailer

The Wild trailer is out, and we cant wait for this memoir adaptation to come to life

After the huge success of Dallas Buyers Club, it was hard not to wonder how Jean-Marc Vall e would be able to top the oscar-winning film. Thankfully, we have the Wild trailer to appease our doubts and gear us up for the film set to open in December.

Its hard to imagine what would prompt a 26 year old woman to walk 1,100 miles alone- but what came out of it is nothing short of beautiful. Wild captures this beauty and tells the true story of Cheryl Strayed, a woman who confronts her own catastrophe in the wake of her mothers death and decides to go on a 1,000 mile hike along the Pacific Crest Trail. The trailer is definitely enticing as we see Reese Witherspoon go to places weve never seen her go before- climbing mountains, doing heroin (?!), busting up her feet- but most of all, portraying all shades of strength, grief, and courage.

After viewing the trailer numerous times, here are the five things that stood out to us the most.

Cinematography by Yves B langer

For a narrative so connected to nature and landscape, cinematography is obviously going to be something we look out for in this film. The trailer has already provided us with stunning shots of the west coast, weaving us in and out of forests and sierras. Were also excited to see how Yves B langer, the cinematographer for Dallas Buyers Club, will handle such a vast environment- but judging from the trailer, its clear he knows what hes doing.

Reese Witherspoon

When youre playing the role of a woman who walks by herself for 1,000 miles, youre going to be as alone as she is on screen. Thats why we cant wait to see how Reese Witherspoon will shine on her own and portray a free spirit like Cheryls. I dont know about you, but Im pretty excited to see Elle Woods stripped down, shooting up, and talking to foxes.

The Warm and Fuzzies

Within the first 30 seconds of the trailer Cheryl drops some serious wisdom on us by quoting Emily Dickinson, and then has the nerve to credit herself for the quote in her little notebook (see what I did there?). Were excited to see how Vall e and writer Nick Hornby (An Education, About a Boy) are going to execute a potentially saccharine plot, and whether itll be sweet in all the right places. Regardless of what happens, its clear that well be walking out of that theater with a newfound sense of strength, and a heart full of warm and fuzzies.

Natural Lighting

Were expecting some gorgeous dusky shots from this film, and cant wait to see how the natural West Coast light will be treated. Forget the buzzy headache-inducing fluorescent hospital scenes from Dallas Buyers Club, it looks like B langer will be going au naturel for most of the shots in Wild.

Reese Schleppin Her Way Through Mountains

Were just as excited as we are curious to see how Reese will handle the arduous labor that goes into hiking in the mountains, and whether shell be doing all her own stunts! Judging by the trailer, it looks like shell definitely be putting in the work for a lot of the scenes.
