A Long Way Down
A Long Way Down is the latest Nick Hornby novel to be adapted for the big screen, and looks set to be one of the most moving and heartfelt films of the year.
A Long Way Down sees Pascal Chaumeil return to the director's chair, while Jack Thorne has adapted the novel into a screenplay.
The cast is one to get very excited about as Aaron Paul, Imogen Poots, Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette, Sam Neill and Rosamund Pike are all on board.
And you can see this fine cast in action in the brand new UK trailer for the film:
We have seen quite a few of Hornby's books adapted for the big screen, including About A Boy and High Fidelity, and A Long Way Down looks set to be another gem.
Four lost souls - a disgraced TV presenter, a foul-mouthed teen, an isolated single mother and a solipsistic muso - decide to end their lives on the same night, New Year’s Eve.
When this disillusioned quartet of strangers meet unintentionally at the same suicide hotspot, a London high-rise with the well-earned nickname Topper’s Tower, they mutually agree to call off their plans for six weeks.
Together they form an unconventional, dysfunctional family, becoming media sensations as the Topper House Four and searching together for the reasons to keep on living.
Both funny and poignant, A Long Way Down follows this group of unlikely friends as they try to pull back from the brink.
A Long Way Down is released 21st March.
