The Boxing Day tsunami was such a huge event that film has often seemed unsure how to deal with it. There was an exceptional sequence in Hereafter, but the first major movie to deal head-on with it will come this year with The Impossible, from The Orphanage director Juan Antonio Bayona. The first full trailer has now appeared, and while it’s dubbed in Spanish, it introduces us to Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts as a mother and father who are on holiday in Thailand with their kids when the tsunami hits. Separated from one another, they must find each other amongst the debris. It doesn’t seem it’ll be an easy watch, but it should hit cinemas this autumn.
