A new trailer has been released for Alexander Payne’s The Descendants starring George Clooney as Matt King, a father on the verge of a nervous breakdown, trying to reconnect with his two teen-aged daughters after his wife has an accident and lingers on life-support. The title refers to the land that been handed down to his family from Hawaiian royalty. In addition to his other problems, King must decide whether or not to sell his family’s legacy.
This looks similar to The Boys Are Back, starring Clive Owen (only with girls) but it also looks like it has elements of Payne’s earlier films, particularly About Schmidt, a brilliant ‘dramedy’ in which Jack Nicholson had to adjust to life as a widower and attempt to reconnect with his family.
The supporting cast of The Descendants includes Judy Greer, Beau Bridges and Robert Forster and is scheduled for a December 16, 2011. George Clooney…nuff said.
