The trailer for DreamWorks’ The Soloist, starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr., is now online. Opening November 21st, the film is based on the true story of musical prodigy Nathaniel Ayers (Foxx), who developed schizophrenia in his second year at Juilliard and ended up homeless on the streets of downtown L.A. where he performs the violin and cello. The drama is based on the relationship the musician developed with Steve Lopez (Downey Jr.), a Los Angeles Times reporter whose column and book informed the script.
