Saban Films has released the trailer for The Last Face, directed by two-time Academy Award winner Sean Penn (Into the Wild).
Written by Erin Dignam (The Yellow Handkerchief), the drama stars fellow Oscar winners Charlize Theron (Mad Max: Fury Road, Monster) and Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, Skyfall), as well as Adèle Exarchopoulos (Blue is the Warmest Color), Jean Reno (The Da Vinci Code, Godzilla), and Primetime Emmy nominee Jared Harris (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Mad Men). The film made its World Premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
Set against the devastating backdrop of war-torn Liberia, The Last Face centers on a love affair between Dr. Wren Petersen (Theron), the director of an international aid organization and Dr. Miguel Leon (Bardem), a relief-aid doctor. Together, Wren and Miguel must find a way to keep their relationship alive in the extraordinarily difficult conditions that surround them, while battling their diametrically opposed opinions on how to solve the conflict, and their mutual passion for life.
The film will premiere exclusively on DIRECTV today and will arrive in select theaters and on VOD July 28th.
