RABBIT HOLE – First Clip & New Photos

Lionsgate has debuted a new clip from director John Cameron Mitchell’s RABBIT HOLE. The film will be shown at the 19th Annual Stella Artois St. Louis International Film Festival on Saturday, November 20th at 6:00 pm at the Hi-Pointe.

This is one not to miss. I’m struck by the quiet grace of that scene. Both Academy Awards winners, Dianne Wiest and Nicole Kidman, have really brought their A-game and a warm sense of humor in this clip from the film. 

Here’s a look at these newly released photos from the film.

SYNOPSIS:

RABBIT HOLE is a vivid, hopeful, honest and unexpectedly witty portrait of a family searching for what remains possible in the most impossible of all situations.

Becca and Howie Corbett (NICOLE KIDMAN and AARON ECKHART) are returning to their everyday existence in the wake of a shocking, sudden loss. Just eight months ago, they were a happy suburban family with everything they wanted. Now, they are caught in a maze of memory, longing, guilt, recrimination, sarcasm and tightly controlled rage from which they cannot escape. While Becca finds pain in the familiar, Howie finds comfort.

The shifts come in abrupt, unforeseen moments. Becca hesitantly opens up to her opinionated, loving mother (DIANNE WIEST) and secretly reaches out to the teenager involved in the accident that changed everything (MILES TELLER); while Howie lashes out and imagines solace with another woman (SANDRA OH). Yet, as off track as they are, the couple keeps trying to find their way back to a life that still holds the potential for beauty, laughter and happiness. The resulting journey is an intimate glimpse into two people learning to re-engage with each other and a world that has been tilted off its axis.

RABBIT HOLE is directed by John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) from a script by acclaimed playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, adapted from his Pulitzer Prize-winning play. The film will be in select theaters on December 17, 2010.
