Wild: Is based on the inspirational New York Times Bestseller by Cheryl Strayed, and will be released early December of this year.
Starring Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Thomas Sadoski, Gaby Hoffman, Kevin Rankin, and Michiel Huisman.
The film focuses on a courageous woman’s endurance following the dissolution of her marriage and the death of her mother. Cheryl Strayed (Reese Witherspoon) has lost all hope. After years of reckless, destructive behavior, she makes a rash decision. With absolutely no experience, driven only by sheer determination, Cheryl hikes more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, alone.
WILD powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddens, strengthens, and ultimately heals her.
Swift take: While this has “chick flick” written all over it, this is one I wouldn’t mind catching myself. I am drawn to stories about people who face adversity head-on and unafraid.
