Media, Trailers

With George Clooney already looking to potentially garner one Oscar nomination with The Ides of March, he looks to potentially split up that vote with a starring turn in Alexander Payne’s The Descendants. And now it has a second trailer.

Plot Summary: From Alexander Payne, the creator of the Oscar-winning SIDEWAYS, set in Hawaii, THE DESCENDANTS is a sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic journey for Matt King (George Clooney) an indifferent husband and father of two girls, who is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki. The event leads to a rapprochement with his young daughters while Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family’s land handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries.
