Back in August, we got a look at Disney's upcoming film The Odd Life of Timothy Green, which introduced us to young boy who appears in the garden of a married couple. A new trailer has made its way online that gives us a better look at the story beyond the appearance of Timothy Green.
Directed by Peter Hedges, The Odd Life of Timothy Green is described as an inspiring, magical story, which follows Cindy (Jennifer Garner) and Jim Green (Joel Edgerton), a married couple looking to start a family and, after a stormy night, find a child in their garden waiting for them. In the trailer released last year, we were given a better look at how all of this happens. It looks like Cindy and Jim were having trouble conceiving and, seemingly on a whim, came up with a wish list of sorts, creating their dream child on pieces of note paper, which they later buried in the backyard. And then Timothy (CJ Adams) arrived. This new trailer takes the story further, giving us a better glimpse of how Timothy will affect the lives of the people around him.
Words like "magical," "enchanting" and "inspiring" seem to be fitting descriptions for a story like this, especially when factoring in the additional footage we're shown from the movie, which explores the relationships Timothy begins to form, not only with his parents but with the other people he encounters. And, while Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" is probably a bit dated, it's effective and it's worked for Disney in the past (see also: The Princess Diaries 2).
In addition to Adams, Garner and Edgerton, The Odd Life of Timothy Green stars Dianne Wiest, Rosemarie DeWitt, Ron Livingston, and Common. The film arrives in theaters August 15, 2012. More information can be found in our Blend Film Database.
