Watch Saoirse Ronan Go From Sassy To Survivor In The Trailer for HOW I LIVE NOW
Kevin MacDonald’s adaptation of Meg Rosoff’s young adult novel How I Live Now wasn’t on my radar until the trailer hit. Which is surprising because the film combines two of my guiltiest pleasures: Science fiction and teen drama. The story of a girl from Manhattan who falls in love outside of London during WWIII appears at first to be your standard rebellious urban teen goes to the farm story. Then the bomb goes off.
About the time Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra’s “Do It with a Rockstar” starts playing, I’m hooked. Now this, my friends, is how you cut a trailer. Whether the film is actually good, is another story. But I’m banking on the talented Kevin MacDonald (The Last King of Scotland, State of Play) at the very least churning out something watchable. I mean, science fiction and teen drama. Gets me every time. Check it out:
