Set in a mythic New York City and spanning more than a century, "Winter's Tale" is a story of miracles, crossed destinies, and the age-old battle between good and evil.
Peter Lake (Colin Farrell) is a master thief, who never expected to have his own heart stolen by the beautiful Beverly Penn (Jessica Brown Findlay). But their love is star-crossed: she burns with a deadly form of consumption, and
Peter has been marked for a much more violent death by his one-time mentor, the demonic Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe).
Peter desperately tries to save his one true love, even as Pearly does everything in his power to take him down—winner take all and loser be damned. What
Peter needs is a miracle, but only time will tell if he can find one.
The film stars Farrell ("Saving Mr. Banks"), Brown Findlay (TV's "Downton Abbey"), and Oscar ® winners Jennifer Connelly ("A Beautiful Mind"),
William Hurt ("Kiss of the Spider Woman"), Eva Marie Saint ("On the Waterfront") and Crowe ("
Gladiator"). "Winter's Tale" also introduces young newcomers Ripley Sobo and Mckayla Twiggs (both from Broadway's "Once").
The film marks the directorial debut of Academy Award ® -winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman ("A Beautiful Mind"), who also wrote the screenplay, based on the acclaimed novel by Mark Helprin.
Goldsman is also producing the film with Marc Platt ("
Drive"), Michael Tadross ("Sherlock Holmes") and Tony Allard (Showtime's "The Baby Dance"). The executive producers are Kerry Foster and Bruce Berman.
