The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby Trailer – Jessica Chastain & James McAvoy deal with life from two sides

June 29, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The-Disappearance-of-Eleanor-Rigby-pic1When The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby was first announced it sounded like a fascinating idea, but one that was always going to make the backers worried. The idea was that it would essentially be a double feature – Him and Her – with each movie showing the life of a couple, first from one of their perspectives and then the other.

It premiered as that double feature at the Toronto Film Festival, but at Cannes it became ‘Them’, melding the two sides together into a single, more traditional film. It appears that’s how it’ll end up in cinemas, although the original dual-version may get a limited cinema run and will probably show up on DVD and Blu-ray.

Now the trailer for the merged version is here, which you can watch below.

The films follow a married couple in New York City, who deal with an emotional, life-altering experience. James McAvoy is the restaurant owner husband, while Jessica Chastain is his wife (Jessica Chastain), who goes back to college. Ned Benson both wrote and directs. [Read more…]

Joel Edgerton & Jessica Chastain Sign Up For Ambitious Double Feature

February 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s always good to see Hollywood trying something a little bit different, and The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby is certainly that, as it’s a double-feature, with two movies telling the same story but from different perspective. There’ll be a ‘His’ and a ‘Hers’ version, with Deadline reporting that Jessica Chastain and Joel Edgerton will be the man and woman in question.

The love story explores a New York City couple’s relationship during a difficult time in their marriage, from the different perspective of the husband, a restaurant owner, and of the wife, who goes back to college. William Hurt is also in discussions to join the cast.

Ned Benson (In Defiance of Gravity) wrote the scripts and will also direct both films. Interestingly they’re moving ahead even though distibution plans are yet to be made, and they’re uncertain if the films will be released separately or as one big back-to-back double feature. the plan is to make each film work on its own, but for each to compliment the other.
