Feel the Plight of the Chilean Miners in First Trailer for The 33
[youtube id="hOoIBOYqHyw" autoplay="no"]
Based on a true story, The 33 follows the story of the 33 Chilean Miners who were trapped inside of a 100 year old mine for 69 long and painful days until a team was able to free them. The film promises to dramatize events recounted by the miners themselves, and it's got quite the cast. Starring Antonio Banderas, Lou Diamond Phillips, Juliette Binoche, and James Brolin, the first trailer gives you pretty much all you need to know.
If you disregard the obviously pointed trailer dialogue (trailers for biopic events like this are usually poorly edited), the fact that the trailer gives away the entire story (it doesn't really matter in this case if you followed along with it in the news), and that one "Say Something" pop song that makes no sense here, there's definitely a good core concept at hand. Either way, any film that explores the lives of Chileans just a little bit is a big win in my book. You don't see those every day. Heck, you don't really see them ever. That's probably why Lou Diamond Phillips is here. He's the guy Hollywood gets when there's a big Latino movie and they want to attract a certain audience. That accent is terrible, Lou.
The 33 releases November 13th.
