Director David Frankel talks about his newest feature film Collateral Beauty.
When a successful New York advertising executive suffers a great tragedy he retreats from life. While his concerned friends try desperately to reconnect with him, he seeks answers from the universe by writing letters to Love, Time and Death. But it’s not until his notes bring unexpected personal responses that he begins to understand how these constants interlock in a life fully lived, and how even the deepest loss can reveal moments of meaning and beauty.
From Oscar-winning director David Frankel, the thought-provoking drama Collateral Beauty features an all-star cast, including Will Smith (Suicide Squad, Concussion), Edward Norton (Birdman or [The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance]), Keira Knightley (The Imitation Game), Michael Peña (The Martian), Naomie Harris (Spectre), Jacob Latimore (The Maze Runner), with Oscar winners Kate Winslet (The Reader, Steve Jobs) and Helen Mirren (The Queen, Trumbo).
Frankel (Marley & Me, The Devil Wears Prada, Dear Diary) directs from a screenplay written by Allan Loeb (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, 21). The film is produced by Bard Dorros (Triple 9), Oscar winner Michael Sugar (Spotlight), Loeb, Anthony Bregman (Foxcatcher), and Kevin Frakes (John Wick). Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener, Michael Disco, Michael Bederman, Peter Cron, and Bruce Berman served as executive producers.
Collateral Beauty is released by Warner Bros. on December 26th.
