\n\tJoel Edgerton<\/a> plays Robert Grainier, an early-20th century logger and railroad worker who faces a rapidly-changing America in the teaser trailer<\/a> for director Clint Bentley\u2019s Train Dreams<\/a><\/a>, which dropped on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\n\tFelicity Jones<\/a>, who plays Gladys, Grainer\u2019s wife, William H. Macy<\/a> and Kerry Condon also star in Bentley\u2019s drama that adapts Denis Johnson\u2019s prize-winning novella. \u201cI don\u2019t know where the years go,\u201d a meditative Grainer says at one point in the trailer amid scenes where he rides the rails or, long axe in hand, eyes giant trees to possibly chop down.<\/p>\n

\n\tMacy, who plays Arn Peeples, an explosives expert, finds lyrical beauty in an early 20th century America where the outside world is fast closing in on their traditional, pastoral way of life. \u201cThis world is intricately stitched together, boys. Every thread we pull, we know not how it affects the design of things,\u201d Macy\u2019s character says from around a campfire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTrain Dreams bowed in Sundance and is headed next to the Toronto Film Festival for an international premiere. The film is directed by Bentley\u00a0from a script he wrote with\u00a0Greg Kwedar after they worked together on\u00a0the Oscar-nominated Sing Sing drama.<\/p>\n

\n\tBentley said of his latest movie in a director\u2019s statement: \u201cI think most of us will never have some great impact on history and yet we will lead very, very deep\u00a0and beautiful lives. There\u2019s something very special about [Robert Grainier\u2019s] story in that it is so\u00a0specific to this one person\u2019s life, and yet there\u2019s a universality to it of a person trying to navigate a world\u00a0that\u2019s changing around them constantly \u2014 kind of leaving you behind, even as you\u2019re still alive.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hollywood Reporter\u2018s chief film critic David Rooney said of Train Dreams in his Sundance review<\/a>: \u201cAt the risk of gushing, I adored this perfectly formed movie. It elevates\u00a0Bentley into the league of essential American filmmakers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTrain Dreams is produced by Marissa McMahon, Teddy Schwarzman, William Janowitz, Ashley Schlaifer and Michael Heimler, while Edgerton, Scott Hinckley, \u00a0Kwedar and\u00a0John Friedberg executive produce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joel Edgerton plays Robert Grainier, an early-20th century logger and railroad worker who faces a rapidly-changing America in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19261,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,134,20226,20227,344,435,18653,13293,20185,20228],"class_list":{"0":"post-19260","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-felicity-jones","12":"tag-joel-edgerton","13":"tag-movies","14":"tag-netflix","15":"tag-trailer","16":"tag-trailers","17":"tag-train-dreams","18":"tag-william-h-macy"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
