Exclusive Featurette From The Impossible Explains Why The Film Had To Be Made
Back in 2004 Maria Belon went through a horrific ordeal. While she was on vacation with her family in Thailand, the nation was rocked by a massive earthquake and tsunami. The story of what happened after was so amazing that director Juan Antonio Bayona just had to make it into a feature film, and the result was the drama The Impossible.
After earning Naomi Watts her second Academy Award nomination, the based-on-a-true-story film is getting set to be released on Blu-ray and DVD later this month, and to get you ready we’ve been sent the exclusive feaurette seen above, with not only the director, but also Watts, her young co-star Tom Holland, and producers Sergio G. Sanchez and Belel Atienza.
You can read the official plot synopsis for the film below.
Look for The Impossible in stores on April 23, and available for download through iTunes, Amazon and other digital retailers starting April 2.
