“C’mon girl, kick your feet!” Disney has revealed an official trailer for their summer movie Young Woman and the Sea, based on the true story of the first woman to ever swim across the English Channel. It’s set to open at the end of May and we’ve been waiting to finally see a trailer. “21 miles and a nice day for a swim.” Daisy Ridley stars as Trudy Ederle, an American woman who grew up in Manhattan and learned to swim in New Jersey. After winning a gold medal at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, she eventually made the incredible English Channel swim from France to England in 1926 at the age of 20. This also co-stars Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Stephen Graham, Kim Bodnia, Christopher Eccleston, and Glenn Fleshler. It’s directed by Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Rønning (of Kon-Tiki and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), adapted from Glenn Stout’s book, and produced by the Jerry Bruckheimer, making it a major Disney release arriving this summer. This is fantastic trailer, the score in it almost makes it seem like they’re going for Oppenheimer grandness. Aside from all the Nyad comparisons, this looks even better than Nyad. // Continue Reading ›
