Watch a Preview of Hemingway and Gelhorn with Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman!

Clive Owen is Ernest Hemingway and Nicole Kidman is Martha Gelhorn, his lover and then the 2nd of his wives, in HBO’s Hemingway and Gelhorn. I have to admit as an avowed fan of Clive Owen, I was in for this from the moment that I heard that Owen had been cast.
The story that director Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff, Henry and June) and writers Jerry Stahl (Permanent Midnight) and Barbara Turner (Pollack) are telling is centered on the passionate and tempestuous romance between Ernest Hemingway and WWII correspondent Martha Gellhorn, Hemingway's inspiration for For Whom the Bell Tolls and the only woman who ever asked for a divorce from the writer.
We have a trailer for the made-for-cable movie (remember it’s not tv, it’s HBO) that at nearly 5 minutes long amounts to much more than your standard preview. If I was looking forward to it before viewing, I’m certainly excited now.
That HBO continues to attract top talent to its projects is no secret. Elite actors sign on to HBO projects because the production values are as high as a theatrical film but the turn around time is a lot shorter, both in terms of filming and promotion, as well as the reputation the cable company has built over the last thirty years. This year alone, Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte have committed to series television in Luck and Julianne Moore and Ed Harris will star in Game Change. The supporting cast of this movie includes Robert Duvall, Molly Parker, David Strathairn, Rodrigo Santoro, Tony Shaloub, Brooke Adams, Joan Chen, Jeffrey Jones, Parker Posey, Peter Coyote, Diane Baker and Lars Ulrich. (Yes, that Lars Ulrich. The Metallica drummer has appeared in other films, like Get Him to the Greek, but this is essentially his acting debut.)
Hemingway and Gelhorn will debut in May.
